A male E and a female E each conducted a single session of EMG biofeedback training with 24 male and 24 female Ss (N =96) under one of three conditions: verbal reinforcement presented contingently on EMG reduction, yoked noncontingent verbal reinforcement, and no verbal reinforcement. After the biofeedback session, all Ss completed a Journard Self-disclosure Scale. Sex of S and verbal reinforcement conditions did not affect EMG biofeedback performance, but Ss treated by the male E decreased EMG mean and standard deviation more than Ss treated by the female E (p less than .01). Ss who received noncontingent verbal reinforcement reported being least willing to disclose to the E (p less than .05). These results are discussed in terms of the interpersonal influences that may affect biofeedback performance and self-disclosure.
一名男性实验者（E）和一名女性实验者分别在三种条件之一对24名男性和24名女性被试（Ss）（N = 96）进行了单次肌电图生物反馈训练：根据肌电图降低情况给予的言语强化、匹配的非条件言语强化以及无言语强化。生物反馈训练结束后，所有被试完成了乔纳森自我表露量表。被试的性别和言语强化条件并未影响肌电图生物反馈表现，但接受男性实验者治疗的被试比接受女性实验者治疗的被试肌电图平均值和标准差下降得更多（p小于0.01）。接受非条件言语强化的被试报告称最不愿意向实验者表露（p小于0.05）。根据可能影响生物反馈表现和自我表露的人际影响对这些结果进行了讨论。
