我们提出，人们的亲密关系可能会使他们免受自我差异反馈的影响。拥有低或高自尊(目标)的个人在与他们有亲密关系的人(亲密关系)的陪同下向实验室报到。一些人以与目标自我概念一致的方式接近感知的目标；另一些人以与目标的自我概念不一致的方式感知目标。目标收到的虚假反馈与他们的自尊不符，并与他们的亲密或陌生人互动。然后，目标完成了一定程度的自尊。正如预期的那样，当目标与不一致的亲密对象或陌生人互动时，他们的自我评级朝着不同反馈的方向变化，但当他们与一致的亲密互动时，他们没有改变自己的自我评级。此外，和谐的亲密关系在使低自尊目标免受积极反馈的影响方面与在使高自尊的个人免受负面反馈影响方面同样有效。最后，目标讨论的反馈越多，他们经历的自我评级变化就越少。对社会支持过程和应对创伤性事件的尝试的影响进行了讨论。
We proposed that people's intimates may insulate them against self-discrepant feedback. Individuals who possessed low or high self-esteem (targets) reported to the laboratory accompanied by persons with whom they were involved in intimate relationships (intimates). Some intimates perceived targets in a manner that was congruent with targets' self-conceptions; others perceived targets in a manner that was incongruent with targets' self-conceptions. Targets received bogus feedback that was discrepant with their self-esteem and interacted with either their intimate or a stranger. Targets then completed a measure of self-esteem. As expected, targets changed their self-ratings in the direction of the discrepant feedback when they interacted with either an incongruent intimate or a stranger but not when they interacted with a congruent intimate. Moreover, congruent intimates were just as effective in insulating low self-esteem targets against positive feedback as they were in insulating high self-esteem individuals against negative feedback. Finally, the more targets discussed the feedback, the less self-rating change they experienced. Implications for social support processes and attempts to cope with traumatic events are discussed.
