In this investigation we examined partners' responses to unmet intimacy needs in hopes of better understanding how these responses may affect intimacy satisfaction and overall relationship satisfaction. Eighty-four married couples, plus four additional husbands and 12 additional wives, were recruited from the community and completed measures of relationship satisfaction, intimacy need satisfaction, and attributional and communication responses to unmet intimacy needs. Consistent with the proposed mediational model, less negative attributional and communication responses to unmet intimacy needs were found to be beneficial for overall intimacy satisfaction and relationship satisfaction. In addition, more positive communication responses contributed to greater intimacy satisfaction. Limitations and clinical implications of the current study and directions for future work are discussed.
在本次调查中，我们研究了伴侣对未满足的亲密需求的反应，以期更好地理解这些反应如何影响亲密关系满意度和整体关系满意度。从社区招募了84对已婚夫妇，外加4名丈夫和12名妻子，他们完成了关系满意度、亲密需求满意度以及对未满足的亲密需求的归因和沟通反应的测量。与所提出的中介模型一致，对未满足的亲密需求较少的负面归因和沟通反应被发现有利于整体亲密关系满意度和关系满意度。此外，更积极的沟通反应有助于提高亲密关系满意度。讨论了本研究的局限性、临床意义以及未来工作的方向。
