Two studies integrated and advanced mindset and relationship illusions research. In Study 1, mindset influenced perceived partner superiority and goal domain moderated this effect. When focusing on a nonrelationship goal, an implemental mindset increased idealistic partner perceptions. When focusing on a relationship goal, a deliberative mindset increased idealistic partner perceptions. In Study 2, effects for mindset about relationship goals were moderated by relationship commitment. High - commitment participants defended against the threat of a deliberative mindset by increasing their positive views of their partner. Low - commitment participants did not defend against deliberation about a relationship goal. No such differences were found for relationship implementals; both high - and low - commitment individuals increased their glowing partner views when in an implemental mindset.
