Little research has examined the influence of social cognition on communicative behaviors that spouses exhibit in conversational interactions. The present study examined the associations between interpersonal cognitive complexity and three marital communication skills: communication effectiveness (generating messages that have the desired outcome), predictive accuracy (anticipating accurately the effects of a message on a receiver), and perceptual accuracy (correctly inferring the intent of a message source). The study also evaluated whether marital distress moderated associations between cognitive complexity and communication skills. Participants (60 couples) discussed a problem from their own marriage and a vignette from the Inventory of Marital Conflicts (Olson & Ryder, 1970) using the communication box. Cognitive complexity was moderately associated with perceptual accuracy, weakly associated with communication effectiveness, and not associated with predictive accuracy. Subsidiary analyses revealed that associations between cognitive complexity and the communication skills were generally stronger in the subsample of distressed couples than in the subsample of nondistressed couples.
很少有研究考察社会认知对配偶在对话互动中所表现出的交际行为的影响。本研究考察了人际认知复杂性与三种婚姻沟通技巧之间的关联:沟通有效性(生成具有预期结果的信息)、预测准确性(准确预测信息对接收者的影响)和感知准确性(正确推断信息源的意图)。该研究还评估了婚姻困扰是否调节了认知复杂性与沟通技巧之间的关联。参与者(60对夫妻)使用沟通箱讨论了他们自己婚姻中的一个问题以及《婚姻冲突量表》(奥尔森和莱德,1970年)中的一个 vignette。认知复杂性与感知准确性呈中等程度相关,与沟通有效性呈弱相关,与预测准确性不相关。辅助分析表明,在婚姻困扰夫妻子样本中,认知复杂性与沟通技巧之间的关联通常比在非困扰夫妻子样本中更强。
