The effects of communal motivation on reactions to relationship partners' expressed anger were examined. In Study 1, married couples reported on the communal strength of their marriage, their expressions of anger to their spouse, and relationship satisfaction. In Study 2, college students reported on the communal strength of their best friendships, those friends' expressions of anger, and their evaluations of and provision of support to those friends. In Study 3, communal motivation toward a stranger who expressed mild anger was manipulated and evaluation of that stranger was measured. In all three studies, low communal motivation was associated with more negative evaluations of angry partners, lower relationship satisfaction, and, in Study 2, lower support provision. In contrast, when communal motivation was high, these decreases either did not occur (Studies 1 and 3) or were diminished (Study 2), and in Study 2, partners' anger was associated with increased provision of social support.
本研究考察了公共动机对伴侣表达愤怒的反应的影响。在研究 1 中，已婚夫妇报告了他们婚姻的公共力量、对配偶的愤怒表达以及关系满意度。在研究 2 中，大学生报告了他们最好的友谊的公共力量、那些朋友的愤怒表达，以及他们对这些朋友的评价和支持。在研究 3 中，对表达轻度愤怒的陌生人的公共动机进行了操纵，并测量了对该陌生人的评价。在这三项研究中，公共动机较低与对愤怒伴侣的负面评价、关系满意度降低以及在研究 2 中支持提供减少有关。相比之下，当公共动机较高时，这些下降要么没有发生（研究 1 和 3），要么减少（研究 2），而在研究 2 中，伴侣的愤怒与社会支持的增加提供有关。
