Abstract

Perceiving partner emotions accurately is relevant for relationship functioning and may relate to perceivers’ attachment orientations. Here we tested whether attachment anxiety and avoidance affect the perception of a hard and a flat partner emotion which can signal a relationship threat, that is, irritation and indifference towards the partner, and of general affective valence. We assessed whether individuals (1) over- or underestimate (directional bias) and (2) track changes (tracking accuracy) in their partner's emotions. Ninety-four couples reported on their own emotions and their perception of their partner's emotions multiple times per day during 1 week. Results revealed that more avoidantly attached men less accurately tracked changes in partner irritation and more anxiously attached men less accurately tracked changes in partner affective valence. No other significant associations of attachment with tracking accuracy nor with directional bias were found. Overall, the findings suggest no robust relation between attachment insecurity and perception of partner irritation, indifference and affective valence in everyday life.

日常生活中的依恋以及对硬性和软性伴侣情绪的感知准确性
准确感知伴侣的情绪与人际关系的正常运行息息相关,而且可能与感知者的依恋取向有关。在这里,我们测试了依恋焦虑和回避是否会影响对伴侣情绪(可能预示着关系威胁)(即对伴侣的恼怒和冷漠)和一般情绪价值的感知。我们评估了个体是否(1)高估或低估(方向性偏差)以及(2)追踪伴侣情绪的变化(追踪准确性)。94 对夫妇在一周内每天多次报告他们自己的情绪以及他们对伴侣情绪的感知。结果显示,依恋程度较高的回避型男性对伴侣恼怒情绪变化的追踪准确度较低,而依恋程度较高的焦虑型男性对伴侣情感价位变化的追踪准确度较低。没有发现依恋与追踪准确性或方向性偏差有其他重要关联。总之,研究结果表明,在日常生活中,依恋不安全感与对伴侣的恼怒、冷漠和情感价位的感知之间没有密切的关系。
