Associations between vocally expressed emotional arousal, influence tactics, and demand/withdraw behavior were examined in a treatment-seeking sample of 130 seriously and stably distressed, married, heterosexual couples and in a community sample (N = 38) of 18 married heterosexual and 20 dating heterosexual couples. Fundamental frequency was used to measure emotional arousal, and computational linguistics were used to measure influence tactics. Higher levels of demand/withdraw behavior were associated with greater use of manipulative and controlling influence tactics, higher levels of emotional arousal, and less frequent use of cooperative and compromising influence tactics. Overall, demanders tended to express more arousal and to use more influence tactics than withdrawers. Both influence tactics and emotional arousal were uniquely associated with demand/withdraw behavior. Implications of results are discussed for refining theories of demand/withdraw interaction.
在一个寻求治疗的 130 对严重和稳定困扰的已婚异性恋夫妇样本和一个社区样本(N=38)中,研究了口头表达的情绪唤醒、影响策略和需求/回避行为之间的关联,该社区样本包括 18 对已婚异性恋夫妇和 20 对约会中的异性恋夫妇。基频用于测量情绪唤醒,计算语言学用于测量影响策略。较高水平的需求/回避行为与更频繁地使用操纵和控制影响策略、更高水平的情绪唤醒以及较少使用合作和妥协影响策略相关。总体而言,要求者往往比回避者表达更多的唤醒和使用更多的影响策略。影响策略和情绪唤醒都与需求/回避行为有独特的关联。对结果的讨论对于完善需求/回避互动的理论具有启示意义。
