It seems then that partners who experience the helping as a daunting duty, that is, as an obligatory task they can not avoid, are more at risk for experiencing the helping as energy depleting than those with an autonomous
helping motivation.
Interestingly, helping exhaustion especially appears critical to account for the personal well - being costs associated with controlled
helping motivation.
As this study shows, relatedness satisfaction in ICPs was significantly correlated with partners» autonomous
helping motivation.
These results show that different partner responses differentially relate to the pain experience and pain coping of ICPs and they may be dependent on the present
helping motivation.
In line with Weinstein and Ryan, an overall index reflecting the relative degree of autonomous
helping motivation was calculated by subtracting controlled motivation from autonomous motivation scores.
To determine whether
helping motivation would be associated with ICP outcomes, we tested a SEM model with the different ICP outcome variables (i.e., disability, personal well - being, psychological distress, and relationship quality).
Moreover, autonomous
helping motivation was also associated with a better relational functioning of ICPs in need of help, that is, those with high levels of pain.
Next, the same model was tested, this time allowing a direct path between relative autonomous
helping motivation and outcomes.
Post-hoc power analyses indicated that with a sample of size 48 there is about 90 % power to detect the observed effects of partners»
helping motivation on partners» personal well - being, distress, and relationship quality.
It is possible that partners»
helping motivation may affect the type (e.g., instrumental or emotional) of help provided.
Finally, future studies could identify antecedents of autonomous
helping motivation, which may provide more specific tools for pain treatment with involvement of partners.
If
helping motivation is dynamic, it should also be susceptible to change due to experimental activation, for which experimental designs might be useful to extend the current findings.
Results indicated that there was a positive contribution of relative autonomous
helping motivation to personal well - being (β = 0.50, SE = 0.06, P < 0.01) and relationship quality (β = 0.45, SE = 0.19, P < 0.01), while being negatively related to psychological distress (β = − 0.45, SE = 0.09, P < 0.01).
A second SEM model was constructed to test whether partners» helping exhaustion would function as a mediator of the relationship between relative autonomous
helping motivation and partner outcomes.
Partners» relative autonomous
helping motivation was, however, not related to any of the measures reported by the ICP, except for a positive association with ICPs» relatedness need satisfaction.
In line with our expectations, partners» relative autonomous
helping motivation was significantly and positively related to partners» well - being, relationship quality, and relationship - based need satisfaction, while being negatively related to partners» distress and helping exhaustion.
Furthermore, it was examined whether partners» type of
helping motivation also relates to ICP outcomes.
Interaction effect of partners»
helping motivation and ICPs» pain intensity on ICP - perceived relationship quality.
Specifically, for personal well - being the indirect effect of
helping motivation was a1b11 = 0.22 (P < 0.05), for psychological distress it was a1b12 = − 0.19 (P < 0.05) and for relationship quality it was a1b13 = 0.43 (P < 0.01).
These indirect effects reflect the effects of
helping motivation through helping exhaustion and relationship - based need satisfaction on the three different outcome variables.
Next, three direct paths from
helping motivation to the outcome variables were added.
Mediation model of the association between partners»
helping motivation and different partner outcomes.
Although the findings indicated no direct relationship between partners»
helping motivation and ICPs» well - being or distress, we found ICPs suffering from high pain intensity to benefit from autonomously motivated partners.
Similar to the previous analyses, results showed that
helping motivation was no longer associated with the three different partner outcomes (P > 0.05) and that this model did not yield a superior fit -LRB-(3) = 1.18, P = 0.76).
In this SEM model, fit indices were acceptable -LRB-(16) = 20.62, P = 0.19, CFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.05), but no main effects were found between partners» relative autonomous
helping motivation and the different ICP outcomes.
Perhaps, it is the case that partners experiencing a greater sense of well - being are able to more easily assist patients, or find it less burdensome, or that those patients more satisfied with their relationship behave in ways that contribute to their partner's relationship - based need satisfaction and autonomous
helping motivation.
Finally, we examined whether partners» overall relationship - based need satisfaction may also serve as a mediator in the relationship between relative autonomous
helping motivation and partner outcomes, thereby simultaneously introducing both potential mediators in the model.
Also other variables, such as the feeling of warmth and connectedness in ICPs, may be affected by partners» type of
helping motivation.
Interestingly, there was a significant
helping motivation by pain intensity interaction term explaining ICP reported relationship quality (β = 0.28, SE = 0.01, P = 0.05).
The post-hoc power for the indirect effects of relative
helping motivation through helping exhaustion on partners» well - being and psychological distress, and the indirect effect through relationship - based need satisfaction on relationship quality were all above 90 % while for other indirect effects post-hoc power was substantially smaller.
Figure 0003 provides simple regression lines of ICPs» relationship quality as a function of partners»
helping motivation at high (+1 SD) and low levels (− 1SD) of ICPs» reported pain intensity.
Furthermore, we expected 3) autonomous, relative to controlled,
helping motivation to be associated with the ICPs» experienced disability, personal well - being, psychological distress, and relationship quality, in particular among those in high need for help to deal with the pain, that is, those high in pain intensity, and 4) that these effects can be explained by a higher relatedness need satisfaction in ICPs as helping for autonomous reasons may promote closeness.
Within this study, self - determination theory (SDT) is adopted to examine the relation between partners» type of
helping motivation and both ICPs» and partners» personal and relational functioning.
As there were no direct effects of
helping motivation on ICP outcomes in this SEM model, no mediation models were further tested (hypothesis 4).
