亲密的积极关系是否能作为一种自我支持的资源，使自我免受潜在威胁信息的影响？在进行了一项困难而重要的智力测试后，参与者设想了一种关系，即接近阳性、接近阴性或中性（实验1），或者一种关系，即接近阳性、接近阴性、远离阳性或远离阴性（实验2）。所有的参与者都收到了关于他们表现的虚假的不利反馈，随后表示他们有兴趣获得更多关于表现领域和潜在智力能力的以责任为中心的信息。那些想象出亲密积极关系的参与者对接收此类信息表现出最高的兴趣，尽管他们认为这是不愉快的。状态自尊和情绪没有解释这种效果，虽然温暖的关系伙伴的影响。密切的积极关系是一种心理资源，它可以增强自我对新发现的责任的反馈，从而增加对额外责任相关信息的接受度。
Do close positive relationships function as a self-bolstering resource, armoring the self against potentially threatening information? After taking a difficult and important intellectual ability test, participants visualized a relationship that was close positive, close negative, or neutral (Experiment 1) or a relationship that was close positive, close negative, distant positive, or distant negative (Experiment 2). All participants received bogus unfavorable feedback about their performance and subsequently indicated their interest in obtaining further liability-focused information about the performance domain and the underlying intellectual ability. Participants who visualized close positive relationships expressed the highest interest in receiving such information, despite rating it as unpleasant. State self-esteem and mood did not account for this effect, although warm affect for the relational partner did. Close positive relationships function as a psychological resource that bolsters the self against feedback about a newly discovered liability to the point where receptivity to additional liability-relevant information actually increases.
