本研究以 98 名乳腺癌女性及其伴侣为样本，评估了 H. Reis 和 P. Shaver (1988) 的人际亲密过程模型。夫妻进行了两次讨论，并对自我和伴侣的披露、感知到的伴侣反应以及亲密经历进行了评分。测试了一个中介模型，其中伴侣的反应性介导了披露和亲密之间的关联。对于患者来说，感知的反应性部分介导了伴侣披露和亲密关系之间的关联，但自我披露与反应性或亲密关系没有显着相关。对于伴侣来说，感知的反应性介导了自我表露与感知到的伴侣表露和亲密感之间的关联。对于乳腺癌患者来说，伴侣的披露预示着患者的亲密感，因为这种类型的披露与更大的接受、理解和关心的感觉相关。这些发现可能对改善乳腺癌夫妇之间的关系亲密程度的干预措施有影响。
This study evaluated H. Reis and P. Shaver's (1988) interpersonal process model of intimacy in a sample of 98 women with breast cancer and their partners. Couples engaged in two discussions and rated self- and partner disclosure, perceived partner responsiveness, and intimacy experienced. A mediational model was tested in which partner responsiveness mediated the association between disclosure and intimacy. For patients, perceived responsiveness partially mediated the association between partner disclosure and intimacy, but self-disclosure was not significantly associated with responsiveness or intimacy. For partners, perceived responsiveness mediated the association between self-disclosure and perceived partner disclosure and intimacy. For breast cancer patients, partner disclosure predicted patient feelings of intimacy, because this type of disclosure was associated with greater feelings of acceptance, understanding, and caring. These findings may have implications for interventions to improve relationship closeness among couples coping with breast cancer.
