Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model  

Definition

  • The Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model (also called the Trait-Context-Process Model) is a framework for understanding how satisfaction in intimate relationships may change or remain stable over time. Building on cognitive-behavioral approaches, the model describes partners' evaluations of their relationships as a direct reaction to their interactions with each other.
