[Preregistration] Predicting satisfaction from pain: The role of sexual expectations and perceived partner responsiveness

This preregistered study proposes to explore the relationship between sexual pain, sexual expectations, and sexual satisfaction in mid-life women. Additionally, researchers will investigate if perceived partner responsiveness mitigates the presumed negative effects of pain on sexual expectations and satisfaction. Reserachers will utilize waves two and three of the nationally representative MIDUS study to test the hypotheses described in the preregistration.
