摘要：
Utilizing dual logic from a multiple goals and relational turbulence theory, this study examined parents-in-law's interaction goals for topic avoidance with their children-in-law. Data from 159 parents-in-law revealed that multiple and conflicting goals were associated with parents-in-law's topic avoidance. Furthermore, relational parameters (i.e., relational uncertainty and partner influence) were associated with the goals in-laws pursued. Results augment theorizing on a multiple goals perspective, relational turbulence, and topic avoidance, as well as theoretically ground the study of in-law communication.
