The authors test the assumption that the core of implicit motives is the desire for particular affective experiences and that motive satisfaction need not be tied to any particular domain. Using the context of romantic relationships, cross-sectional Study 1 and experimental Study 2 showed that people with a high affiliation motive were more satisfied when they experienced more affiliation-specific affect (calmness and relaxation). However, people with a higher power motive were more satisfied in their relationships when they experienced more power-specific affect (strength and excitement) in these relationships. The results support the idea that an implicit motive involves the desire for specific affective experiences and that frequent experiences of one's preferred affect can lead to enhanced satisfaction and well-being in a domain, even one that is not typically associated with that motive.
作者检验了这样一种假设，即内隐动机的核心是对特定情感体验的渴望，而动机满足不一定与任何特定领域相关。通过对浪漫关系的研究，横断面研究 1 和实验研究 2 表明，具有强烈归属动机的人在体验到更特定于归属的情感（平静和放松）时会更加满足。然而，具有较高权力动机的人在他们的关系中体验到更多权力特定的情感（力量和兴奋）时，他们在关系中会更加满足。研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即内隐动机涉及对特定情感体验的渴望，并且经常体验到自己喜欢的情感可以导致在一个领域（即使该领域通常与该动机无关）中增强满足感和幸福感。
