Abstract

Empathic accuracy-the ability to decipher others' thoughts and feelings-promotes relationship satisfaction. Those high in attachment avoidance tend to be less empathically accurate; however, past research has been limited to relatively negative or neutral contexts. We extend work on attachment and empathic accuracy to the positive context of love. To do so, we combined data from three dyadic studies (N = 303 dyads) in which couple members shared a time of love and rated each other's positive emotions. Using the Truth and Bias Model of Judgment, we found that individuals higher (vs. lower) in attachment avoidance were less accurate in inferring their partners' positive emotions during the conversation, but did not systematically over- or under-perceive their partners' positive emotions. Our results suggest that avoidant individuals may be less sensitive to positive cues in their relationships, potentially reducing relational intimacy.

翻译中的爱情迷失:在爱情对话中,回避型个体对伴侣积极情绪的感知不准确。
移情的准确性--解读他人思想和情感的能力--能提高人际关系的满意度。依恋回避程度高的人往往共情准确性较低;然而,过去的研究仅限于相对消极或中性的情境。我们将依恋和移情准确性的研究扩展到了积极的爱情环境中。为此,我们综合了三项双人研究(N = 303 对)的数据,在这些研究中,夫妻双方共享了一段爱情时光,并对彼此的积极情绪进行了评分。通过使用 "真相与偏见判断模型",我们发现依恋回避程度较高(与较低)的个体在对话过程中推断伴侣积极情绪的准确性较低,但并没有系统性地过度或不足感知伴侣的积极情绪。我们的研究结果表明,回避型个体可能对人际关系中的积极线索不太敏感,从而可能降低人际关系的亲密程度。
