Abstract

Couples HIV testing and counseling (CHTC) emerged as an early HIV prevention intervention for male couples in the US. Understanding how couples speak to a testing counselor may enhance CHTC training and delivery. Raters analyzed CHTC sessions involving 66 adult cisgender male couples and noted three distinct styles. When co-speaking, partners collaborated in the construction of a shared response, often using plural pronouns. Parallel speaking involved partners sharing individual perspectives in turn, often using singular pronouns. The spokesperson style was typified by one partner consistently speaking first and saying more. Most (65.1%) couples adopted a consistent style. The majority of these were co-speaking (72.1%). Fewer had a consistent spokesperson (18.6%) or parallel speaking style (9.3%). Where observed, style changes often accompanied shifts in topic or in the CHTC counselor's attention. A couple's communication style may provide CHTC counselors with information about partners' familiarity with each other's perspectives as well as relationship power. Implications for rapport building and engagement are discussed.

夫妻有说话的方式:男性夫妇HIV检测过程中沟通方式的特点与稳定性考察
夫妻艾滋病毒检测和咨询(CHTC)在美国成为男性夫妇早期预防艾滋病毒的干预措施。了解夫妇如何与测试咨询师交谈可以加强CHTC的培训和交付。评分者分析了66对成年顺性别男性伴侣的CHTC会议,并指出了三种不同的风格。当共同发言时,合作伙伴合作构建共同的回应,通常使用复数代词。平行说话涉及伙伴轮流分享个人观点,通常使用单数代词。发言人风格的典型表现是一方总是先发言,然后说得更多。大多数(65.1%)夫妇采用一致的风格。其中大多数是共同发言(72.1%)。更少的人有一致的发言人(18.6%)或平行的说话风格(9.3%)。在观察中,风格的变化通常伴随着话题的变化或CHTC咨询师注意力的转移。夫妻的沟通方式可以为CHTC咨询师提供关于双方对彼此观点的熟悉程度以及关系力量的信息。讨论了对建立关系和参与的影响。
