Clients' emotional experience as a dynamic context for client-therapist physiological synchrony.
Objective: Client-therapist physiological synchrony has recently attracted significant empirical attention. Recent theoretical accounts propose that physiological linkages should not be considered a stable dyadic virtue but rather a dynamic process that depends on the situational context in which they transpire. The present study adopted a "momentary" (vs. "global") approach that focuses on therapist-client physiological synchrony over relatively short periods of time. These temporal data served to examine the interplay between patterns of synchrony (in-phase vs. antiphase) and clients' momentary emotional experiences (inhibited/unproductive, productive, and positive). Synchrony was assessed by measuring respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), an autonomic index that is known to be associated with interpersonal emotion regulation.
Method: Data were drawn from 28 clients undergoing a 16-session supportive-expressive dynamic therapy for depression. Clients' and therapists' electrocardiography were recorded in five sessions; clients' emotional experiences were coded at the speech-turn level. After each session, the clients also completed the session evaluation scale.
Results: Client-therapist dyads had greater momentary RSA synchrony than would be predicted by chance. Compared to moments of unproductive emotional experience, greater antiphase synchrony was observed during moments of productive emotional experiences. In addition, compared to moments of unproductive emotional experience, greater in-phase and antiphase synchrony were observed during moments of positive emotional experiences. These patterns of synchrony were associated with clients' favorable evaluations of the session.
Conclusion: By considering the dynamic nature of synchrony, these findings provide a fine-grained picture of physiological synchrony and its potential effects on therapy. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology® (JCCP) publishes original contributions on the following topics: the development, validity, and use of techniques of diagnosis and treatment of disordered behaviorstudies of a variety of populations that have clinical interest, including but not limited to medical patients, ethnic minorities, persons with serious mental illness, and community samplesstudies that have a cross-cultural or demographic focus and are of interest for treating behavior disordersstudies of personality and of its assessment and development where these have a clear bearing on problems of clinical dysfunction and treatmentstudies of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation that have a clear bearing on diagnosis, assessment, and treatmentstudies of psychosocial aspects of health behaviors. Studies that focus on populations that fall anywhere within the lifespan are considered. JCCP welcomes submissions on treatment and prevention in all areas of clinical and clinical–health psychology and especially on topics that appeal to a broad clinical–scientist and practitioner audience. JCCP encourages the submission of theory–based interventions, studies that investigate mechanisms of change, and studies of the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings. JCCP recommends that authors of clinical trials pre-register their studies with an appropriate clinical trial registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu) though both registered and unregistered trials will continue to be considered at this time.
