INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE REGULATION OF INTERPERSONAL FIELDS

这项研究的长期目标是通过研究二元过程来理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，而不是在个体差异研究设计中通常假设的人内部。人际场的稳定性可以从与二元体从之前的交流到随后的交流的可预测性中推断出来。稳定的人际场可以从之前的交流到随后的交流的可预测性中推断出来。稳定的人际交往领域是可取的，因为从理论上讲，它们与一致的行为模式、减少的焦虑、增加的人际关系和更持久的关系有关。运动教练二元组中的人际场域为本研究提供了一个重要的语境。教练行为与心理健康有关(例如，自尊、害怕失败)，体育活动具有增强自尊、缓解焦虑和抗抑郁的效果，而教练的人际行为已被证明会延长或减少对体育活动的参与。为了研究人际领域，社会行为的结构分析，一个捕捉广泛的人际行为的人际环路模型，将被用来编码教练组在上课期间的行为交换，与SASB相关的几个预测原则已经被修改，以描述根据其稳定性在之前和随后的交流之间的可能的转变的全范围。虽然先前的研究和初步数据表明神经质、对经验的开放态度、依恋风格和希望自爱可能会调节这些转换的稳定性，但根据SASB预测原则定义的对二元人际转换稳定性的影响尚未被研究。确定二分体成员之间的个体差异和个体差异相似性对该二分体内部人际转换稳定性的影响，将有助于加深对调节人际领域的因素的理解。这些知识还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.
