Empathic Accuracy and Inaccuracy in Relationships

一段关系中的伴侣能够在讨论中准确地推断出彼此的私人想法和感受的程度被称为移情准确性。之前对移情准确性的研究揭示了一个主要的悖论：尽管大多数研究发现，更强的移情理解往往有利于人际关系，但一些研究发现，在某些情况下，更强的移情准确性可能会损害人际关系。为了调和这些截然不同的发现，研究人员提出，当伴侣讨论日常和非威胁性问题时，共情的准确性应该对关系有益，但当讨论关系威胁性问题时，它应该对关系有害。了解移情的准确性对人际关系是好是坏，对于增进关于亲密关系中基本社会互动过程的知识是很重要的。该项目开发并测试了一个理论，该理论规定了在互动中何时可能出现更高或更低水平的共情准确性。该理论将在四项研究中得到验证，这些研究涉及长期约会的夫妇和已婚夫妇的大量样本。？ ¢-│©╯╯▽╰Á╭¢Á╯©Á？_Á/ /¢¢？│╣/ %║©吗?烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧烧？¢¥吗?- % ?¢╣À Â/│Á - /│？%Á¢│Á¥/ Á¥' /│？Â？╝_╣¥”?？║¥╣_ / %▓/╝╣╣/┤AA ?¥╣/¥╣吗?/ _/￥/%©/ _？/│╣¢│？╝┤

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?¥╣/¥╣? /┤ _/╝╣¥/% ©/╝_?` /┤ ┤╣¢│?╝┤
