This study investigates how ambivalence over emotional expressiveness (AEE) relates to various aspects of intimate relationships, including perception of the relationship, marital satisfaction, and dyadic closeness. Whereas most commonly AEE has been treated as an individual attribute, we suggest looking at a combined measure of the AEE of both spouses as a dyadic attribute. We examine the contribution of each spouse's level of AEE as well as joint couple AEE to explain variations in the marital relationship. Data were collected from both spouses of 226 Israeli couples. Findings indicated that the AEE of individuals was more predictive of lower relationship quality than neuroticism and that dyadic AEE explains relationship quality more than the AEE of individual partners. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
本研究调查了情绪表达矛盾（AEE）如何与亲密关系的各个方面相关联，包括对关系的感知、婚姻满意度和夫妻亲密关系。虽然 AEE 通常被视为个体属性，但我们建议将配偶双方的 AEE 综合衡量作为一种对偶属性。我们检验了每个配偶的 AEE 水平以及夫妻双方的共同 AEE 对婚姻关系变化的解释作用。数据来自 226 对以色列夫妇的双方配偶。研究结果表明，与神经质相比，个体的 AEE 更能预测较低的关系质量，而对偶 AEE 比个体伴侣的 AEE 更能解释关系质量。讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
