The extent to which partners in a relationship are able to accurately infer each other's private thoughts and feelings during a discussion is known as empathic accuracy. Previous research on empathic accuracy has revealed a major paradox: Although most studies find that greater empathic understanding tends to be good for relationships, some studies have found that greater empathic accuracy can harm relationships in certain situations. To reconcile these contrasting findings, researchers have proposed that empathic accuracy should be good for relationships when routine and non-threatening issues are being discussed by partners, but it should be bad for relationships when relationship-threatening issues are discussed. Understanding when empathic accuracy is good or bad for relationships is important for advancing knowledge about basic social interaction processes in close relationships. This project develops and tests a theory that specifies when higher versus lower levels of empathic accuracy are likely to occur in interactions. The theory will be tested in four studies involving large samples of long-term dating couples and married couples. ? ¢┐│© ┤╣└Á╝¢Á ║©Á?_Á/ /¢ ¢?│╣/% ║©?▓╣/ ┤Á¢¥╝┐│¥╣└Á -Â/│Á ¢/└╣À- ÀÁ¢¥┐╝Á¢ /┤ ╝Á/│¥╣?¢ ¥? -%?¢╣À Â/│Á - /┤?%Á¢│Á¥ /┬╣Á¥` /┤ │?Â?╝_╣¥` ? ?║¥╣_/% ▓/╝À/╣╣À /┤ ÁÀ?¥╣/¥╣? /┤ _/╝╣¥/% ©/╝_?` /┤ ┤╣¢│?╝┤

关系中的伴侣在讨论过程中能够准确推断彼此私人想法和感受的程度被称为共情准确性。先前关于共情准确性的研究揭示了一个重大悖论：尽管大多数研究发现，更强的共情理解往往有利于人际关系，但一些研究发现，更高的共情准确性可能会在某些情况下损害人际关系。为了调和这些截然不同的发现，研究人员提出，当伴侣讨论常规和非威胁性问题时，共情准确性应该有利于关系，但当讨论威胁关系的问题时，共情准确性应该对关系不利。了解移情准确性何时对人际关系有利或不利对于增进对亲密关系中基本社交互动过程的了解非常重要。该项目开发并测试了一种理论，该理论指定了交互中何时可能出现较高或较低水平的共情准确性。该理论将在四项涉及长期约会情侣和已婚夫妇的大样本研究中得到检验。 ？ ┐│© ┤╣└Á╝╝┤╣└Á╝┤╣└Á╝╝║©╣╣└Á╝╝║©╣╣╣/% ║╣▓╣/┤Á╝¥╝┐│¥╣└Á -Â/│Á╝└╣À-╣╝╝┤┤╝╣/┤ ╝Á/│¥╣? ¥? -%?¢╣À/│Á - /┤?%Á¢│Á¥ /┬╣Á¥` /┤ │?â?╝_╣¥` ? ?║¥╣_/% ▓/╝À/╣╣À /┤ ÁÀ?¥╣/¥╣? /┤ _/╝╣¥/% ©/╝_?` /┤ ┤╣ｍ│?╝┤
