Why people enjoy being asked for a favor : Amae as a catalyst of interpersonal relationships in Japan, U.S., and Korea

一项对1000名成年人的随机抽样调查显示，看到成年人的阿马伊积极，会让人感觉到更亲密的关系，感觉到更多的控制感，并在阿马伊的情况下感受到更多的积极影响。在一项实验中，美国和日本的参与者都更喜欢请他们帮忙的邦联成员(Amae)，但当邦联成员没有请求帮助时，他们就不喜欢了。总而言之，这些研究表明，成人的AME可以增进人际关系。

A random sampling survey of 1000 adults showed that seeing adult's Amae positively was associated with perceiving closer relationships, feeling more control, and feeling greater positive affects in Amae situations. In an experiment, participants in both the U.S. and Japan increased liking of a confederate who asked them a favor (Amae) but not when the confederate did not ask the favor. Together, these studies show that adult's Amae can enhance relationships.
