This experiment investigated the physiological linkage in mother-adolescent daughter dyads using reversal theory constructs including metamotivational states, and reversal processes. Physiological linkage is a measure of how well the physiological responses of each member of each dyad predict the other member's response pattern. Among 63 mother- daughter dyads participating in an earlier experiment a high- conflict group (12 dyads) and a low-conflict group (12 dyads), were established on the basis of the Conflict subscale of Family Environment Scale. The study examined the levels of physiological linkage between dyads and identified the metamotivational and emotional predictors of physiological linkage during the neutral, conflictual and pleasant interactions. The results indicate that the physiological responses of daughters predicted the responses of mothers better than vice versa. It was shown that daughters’ ratings of provocativeness and placidity were both predictive of linkage. Both transactional loss and gain were related to shared physiology. For the high- conflict group, physiological linkage was stronger during the conflictual conversation than the pleasant conversation. On the whole, the results demonstrated the utility of reversal theory constructs in explaining the interplay between the metamotivational and emotional processes during interactions and physiological linkage between mother-daughter dyads. However the verbal, non-verbal, and cognitive factors that instigate physiological linkage remain to be investigated.
