Abstract
Does rejection sensitivity influence support-seeking behavior or perceptions of enacted support from romantic partners? Ninety-three married couples were observed before and after a stressful speech task. Highly rejection sensitive individuals sought more post-task support and also perceived supportive partner behaviors as less supportive than objective raters.
