相互依赖，包括情感上的相互依赖，被广泛认为是亲密关系的基石。通过频繁的互动，浪漫的伴侣被认为不断交流，影响和回应彼此的情绪，随着时间的推移，他们的感情变得紧密一致。虽然先前的研究表明，这种情感上的相互依赖可以出现在夫妻之间，但迄今为止还没有研究全面调查其发生，程度，一致性和相关性。在3项不同的研究中，我们研究了夫妻是否以及在多大程度上确实表现出人际情感联系（与伪夫妻相比）。此外，我们还通过考察不同类型情绪之间的情感相互依赖性，研究了其一致性和调节因素（消极vs.积极vs.情绪极端），时间尺度（秒对秒与日常生活），以及情景语境（支持与冲突），并通过检查与关系亲密度指标的关联（关系寿命，同居状态，承诺，以及在自我中包含他人的亲密度）。研究结果显示，情感相互依赖的证据有限。整体平均水平的相互依赖性显着大于随机组成的夫妇，但只有少数夫妇表现出情感上的相互依赖性，在更大程度上比这些伪夫妇。此外，夫妻表现出的情感相互依赖程度在不同的时间尺度和背景下几乎没有表现出一致性，并且与关系亲密度没有明显联系。我们讨论了人际情感动力学领域的潜在影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024阿帕，保留所有权利）
Interdependence, including emotional interdependence, is widely considered to be a cornerstone of close relationships. Through frequent interactions, romantic partners are thought to continuously exchange, influence, and respond to one another’s emotions, leading their feelings to become closely aligned over time. Although prior research has shown that such emotional interdependence can arise in couples, no research to date has comprehensively investigated its occurrence, degree, consistency and correlates. Across 3 different studies, we examined whether and to what extent couples indeed show interpersonal emotional connections (compared to pseudocouples). Additionally, we investigated its consistency and moderating factors, by examining emotional interdependence across different types of emotions (negative vs. positive vs. emotional extremity), timescales (second-to-second vs. daily life), and situational contexts (supportive vs. conflictual), and by inspecting associations with indicators of relationship closeness (relationship longevity, cohabitation status, commitment, and closeness in terms of including the other in the self). The findings show limited evidence for emotional interdependence. The overall mean level of interdependence was significantly larger than that of randomly composed couples, but only a minority of the couples demonstrated emotional interdependence to a greater extent than these pseudocouples. Moreover, the degree to which couples exhibited emotional interdependence showed little consistency across timescales and contexts, and was not clearly associated with relationship closeness. We discuss potential implications for the field of interpersonal emotion dynamics.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
