This study examined whether interactions characterized by high expression of emotional vulnerability in one partner followed by a highly supportive response style by the other partner predicted greater improvement on domains of forgiveness, unfinished business, trust, and relationship satisfaction in a sample of 32 couples presenting for Emotion Focused Couples Therapy with unresolved emotional injuries. For each outcome measure, two separate hierarchical regression models were tested (injured partner vulnerability and offending partner supportiveness; offending partner vulnerability and injured partner supportiveness). Both models significantly predicted improvement on the majority of outcome measures. Practice suggestions for working with emotionally injured couples are provided in light of the findings.
本研究调查了在32对因情感伤害未得到解决而前来接受情感聚焦夫妻治疗的夫妻样本中，一方表现出高度情感脆弱，随后另一方给予高度支持性回应风格的互动，是否预示着在宽恕、未竟之事、信任和关系满意度等方面有更大改善。对于每项结果测量指标，测试了两个独立的分层回归模型（受伤伴侣的脆弱性和冒犯伴侣的支持性；冒犯伴侣的脆弱性和受伤伴侣的支持性）。两个模型均显著预测了大多数结果测量指标的改善情况。根据研究结果，为处理情感受伤的夫妻提供了实践建议。
