我们扩展了最近的研究范围，其中自我意识和观点采择已被用作社会能力或调整的预测因素：我们分析了它们对一夫一妻制，异性恋关系中所经历的满意度的影响。131对夫妇回答了关于他们自己和他们关系的问题。我们预测，私人自我意识的个体差异将与关系满意度呈正相关，因为自我关注的提高会导致更大的自我披露。第二，我们预测，观点采择的个体差异将促进关系满意度，独立于自我表露的任何影响。这两种期望都得到了证实。私人自我意识量表的得分预测报告的自我披露，自我披露的关系中的满意度的预测。此外，一旦去除自我表露的影响，自我意识对满意度的影响就消失了。相比之下，在控制了披露之后，观点采择得分与满意度显著相关，实际上与披露无关。这些研究结果表明，两个人格特征与习惯性关注行为倾向，情绪和动机以不同的方式显着提高了亲密的异性恋关系的质量。结果进行了讨论，在当前的理论在相关领域。
We extended the scope of recent studies in which self-awareness and perspective taking have been used as predictors of social competence or adjustment: We analyzed their influence on the satisfaction experienced in monogamous, heterosexual relationships. Members of 131 couples answered questions concerning themselves and their relationships. We predicted that individual differences in private self-consciousness would be positively related to relationship satisfaction because of the greater self-disclosure resulting from that heightened self-attention. Second, we predicted that individual differences in perspective taking would foster relationship satisfaction, independent of any influence of self-disclosure. Both expectations were confirmed. Scores on the private self-consciousness scale were predictive of reported self-disclosure, and self-disclosure was predictive of satisfaction in the relationship. Furthermore, once the influence of self-disclosure was removed, no effect of self-consciousness on satisfaction remained. In contrast, after disclosure was controlled, perspective-taking scores were significantly related to satisfaction and were in fact unrelated to disclosure at all. These findings indicate that two personality characteristics having to do with habitual attention to behavioral tendencies, to emotions, and to motivations significantly enhance the quality of close heterosexual relationships in different ways. Results are discussed in terms of current theory in the related fields.
