Fifty-three college-aged same- and mixed-sex romantic couples (83% White, 63% female, mean age, 20.8) engaged in a video recall task in which they rated their own and their partners' behaviors and emotions. Females reported feeling more connected to partners and reported fewer negative behaviors than males. Females with male partners reported the highest feelings of connection and the fewest negative behaviors. Males with male partners reported the lowest connection and most negative behaviors. Behavioral mirroring and empathic accuracy did not vary by sex of the actor or of their partner. Partners' self-reported connection and negative behaviors were similar and they accurately perceived each others' average behavioral and emotional states. The data showed little evidence that partners' behaviors mirrored one another temporally across time segments, however. Results suggest that college-aged same and mixed-sex romantic couples show greater similarities than differences in functioning.
53 对处于大学年龄的同性和异性浪漫伴侣（83%为白人，63%为女性，平均年龄为 20.8 岁）参与了视频回忆任务，在任务中他们对自己和伴侣的行为和情绪进行了评分。女性报告说与伴侣的联系感更强，报告的负面行为比男性少。与男性伴侣的女性报告说联系感最强，负面行为最少。与男性伴侣的男性报告说联系感最低，负面行为最多。行为模仿和同理心准确性不因演员的性别或伴侣的性别而异。伴侣的自我报告的联系和负面行为相似，他们准确地感知到彼此的平均行为和情绪状态。然而，数据几乎没有表明伴侣的行为在时间片段上彼此之间存在时间上的相互反映。结果表明，大学年龄的同性和异性浪漫伴侣在功能上表现出更多的相似之处，而不是差异。
