在两项研究中，作者研究了关系目标是否可以预测社会支持和信任随时间的变化。在研究1中，199名大学新生完成了社会支持和人际信任的前测和后测，并完成了10份友谊目标和关系经历的每周报告。平均同情的目标预测亲密，清晰和连接的感觉，并增加社会支持和信任在本学期;自我形象的目标削弱了这些影响。平均自我形象的目标预测冲突，孤独，恐惧和困惑的感觉;同情的目标减弱了这些影响。每周目标的变化预测了目标相关的影响，亲密，孤独，冲突和相互和个人主义的信念的变化。关心他人在研究2中，65对室友每天完成21份关于他们室友关系目标的报告。演员的平均同情心和自我形象的目标相互作用，以预测变化超过3周的合作伙伴的报告，社会支持收到和给予演员;支持，合作伙伴给演员，反过来，预测演员的变化，感知可用的支持，这表明具有同情心的目标的人创造一个支持性的环境，为自己和他人，但只有当他们没有自我形象的目标。
In 2 studies, the authors examined whether relationship goals predict change in social support and trust over time. In Study 1, a group of 199 college freshmen completed pretest and posttest measures of social support and interpersonal trust and completed 10 weekly reports of friendship goals and relationship experiences. Average compassionate goals predicted closeness, clear and connected feelings, and increased social support and trust over the semester; self-image goals attenuated these effects. Average self-image goals predicted conflict, loneliness, and afraid and confused feelings; compassionate goals attenuated these effects. Changes in weekly goals predicted changes in goal-related affect, closeness, loneliness, conflict, and beliefs about mutual and individualistic. caring. In Study 2, a group of 65 roommate pairs completed 21 daily reports of their goals for their roommate relationship. Actors' average compassionate and self-image goals interacted to predict changes over 3 weeks in partners' reports of social support received from and given to actors; support that partners gave to actors, in turn, predicted changes in actors' perceived available support, indicating that people with compassionate goals create a supportive environment for themselves and others, but only if they do not have self-image goals.
