目前的研究考察了在二元同性友谊的背景下，共情对友谊质量的影响，以及这种影响是如何通过人际交往能力来调节的。采用特殊版本的行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型（APIM）对146对10年级同性朋友对进行了检验。结果表明，共情与亲密关系和冲突管理能力呈正相关。此外，在亲密关系和冲突管理能力方面较高的青少年，分别有更多的友谊亲密和更少的不和谐，正如双方成员所感知的那样。与我们的假设一致，共情与自我报告和朋友报告的友谊亲密和不和谐之间的关系分别被青少年的亲密和冲突管理能力中介。这些发现强调了移情和人际交往能力在青少年友谊中的重要性，以及考虑到这些结构在朋友组中的相互依赖性。(c) 2012年，青少年服务专业人员基金会。Elsevier Ltd.出版。版权所有。
The current study examined the effect of empathy on friendship quality in the context of dyadic same-sex friendships, and how such an effect might be mediated by interpersonal competence. A special version of the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) was used to examine this hypothesis in 146 same-sex friend dyads in 10th grade. Results showed that empathy was positively related to intimacy and conflict management competences. Also, adolescents higher in intimacy and conflict management competences had more friendship closeness and less discord, respectively, as perceived by both members. Consistent with our hypothesis, the relationship between empathy and self- and friend-reports of friendship closeness and discord were mediated by adolescents' intimacy and conflict management competence, respectively. These findings emphasize the importance of empathy and interpersonal competence in adolescent friendships, and of considering the interdependence of these constructs in friend dyads.
