INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE REGULATION OF INTERPERSONAL FIELDS

本研究的长远目标是通过研究二元过程来了解影响人际行为的个人和环境因素。人际现象发生在“人际领域”的人与人之间，而不是像个体差异研究设计中经常假设的那样发生在人体内。人际领域的稳定性可以从与双元体的事前沟通到事后沟通的可预测性中推断出来。稳定的人际场域可以从与双元体的事前交往到事后交往的可预测性中推断出来。稳定的人际关系领域是可取的，因为从理论上讲，它们与一致的行为模式、减少焦虑、增加联系和更持久的关系有关。体育教练组人际关系领域为本研究提供了重要的背景。教练行为与心理健康（例如，自尊、对失败的恐惧）有关，体育活动具有增强自尊、抗焦虑和抗抑郁的作用，教练的人际关系行为已被证明可以延长或减少体育活动的参与。为了研究人际领域，将使用社会行为结构分析（一种捕获广泛人际行为的人际循环模型）来编写课程中教练对行为交换的代码。与SASB相关的几个预测原则已被改编，以描述根据其稳定性在前事和后事沟通之间可能发生的全部转变。根据SASB预测原则定义的二元人际过渡稳定性的影响尚未被调查，尽管先前的研究和初步数据表明，神经质、对经验的开放性、依恋类型和自爱的愿望可能会缓和这些过渡的稳定性。建立个体差异和个体差异相似度对双元组内人际过渡稳定性的影响，将增强对调节人际领域因素的理解。这些知识也将为促进最佳心理健康和功能的科学和临床努力提供信息。

The broad, long-term objective of this research is to understand personal and environmental factors that influence interpersonal behavior by studying dyadic processes. Interpersonal phenomena occur between people in "interpersonal fields" instead of within people as is often assumed in individual differences research designs. The stability of an interpersonal field can be inferred from the predictability of transitions from antecedent to consequent communications with a dyad. Stable interpersonal field can be inferred from the predictability of transitions from antecedent to consequent communications with a dyad. Stable interpersonal fields are desirable because they are theoretically associated with consistent behavioral patterns, reduced anxiety, increased relatedness, and more enduring relationships. Interpersonal fields in sport coaching dyads provide an important context for this research. Coaching behaviors have been associated with mental health (e.g., self-esteem, fear of failure), physical activity has known self- esteem enhancing, anxiolytic, and anti-depressant effects, and coaches' interpersonal behaviors have been shown to perpetuate or reduce participation in physical activity. To study interpersonal fields, the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior, an interpersonal circumplex model that captures a broad spectrum of interpersonal behavior, will be used to code behavioral exchanges in coaching dyads during lessons, Several predictive principles associated with the SASB have been adapted to describe the full-range of possible transitions between antecedent and consequent communications according to their stability. Influences on the stability of dyadic interpersonal transitions, defined according to the SASB predictive principles, have not been investigated although previous research and preliminary data suggest that neuroticism, openness to experience, attachment style, and wishes to be self-loving may moderate the stability of these transitions. Establishing the influence of individual differences and individual difference similarities between members of a dyad on the stability of interpersonal transitions within that dyad will enhance understanding of factors that regulate interpersonal fields. This knowledge also will inform scientific and clinical efforts to promote optimal mental health and functioning.
