Although research has examined the consequences of relational self-construal, little is known about what psychological factors predict it. Four studies examined the association between compassionate goals and relational self-construal. Study 1 showed that compassionate goals are positively associated with relational self-construal in college students. Study 2 replicated this association among adults in romantic relationships. Studies 3 and 4 showed that compassionate goals predict increased relational self-construals over time in college roommates. Moreover, Studies 2-4 showed that responsiveness to relationship partners statistically mediated the association between compassionate goals and self-construal. These studies suggested that people with compassionate goals have highly relational self-construals and that they also develop higher levels of relational self-construals by being responsive to relationship partners.
尽管已有研究探讨了关系自我建构的后果,但对于预测它的心理因素却知之甚少。四项研究考察了同情目标与关系自我建构之间的关联。研究1表明,同情目标与大学生的关系自我建构呈正相关。研究2在恋爱关系中的成年人中重复了这一关联。研究3和研究4表明,随着时间的推移,同情目标能预测大学生室友的关系自我建构会增加。此外,研究2至4表明,对关系伙伴的反应性在统计上介导了同情目标与自我建构之间的关联。这些研究表明,怀有同情目标的人具有高度的关系自我建构,并且他们也通过对关系伙伴做出反应而发展出更高水平的关系自我建构。
