The authors sought to distinguish unmitigated communion, a focus on others to the exclusion of the self, from communion, a positive caring orientation toward others. Across four studies, the authors showed that unmitigated communion and communion are correlated, but that unmitigated communion is distinct from communion in terms of a negative view of the self, turning to others for self-evaluative information, and psychological distress. They also sought to explain the relation of unmitigated communion to distress. It was found that unmitigated communion individuals' reliance on others for self-esteem leads to overinvolvement with others and a neglect of the self, which, in turn, account for the relation of unmitigated communion to distress.
作者试图将毫无保留的交融（即专注于他人而排斥自我）与交融（即对他人积极的关爱取向）区分开来。在四项研究中，作者表明毫无保留的交融与交融相关，但毫无保留的交融在对自我的负面看法、向他人寻求自我评估信息以及心理困扰方面与交融不同。他们还试图解释毫无保留的交融与困扰之间的关系。研究发现，毫无保留的交融个体对他人自尊的依赖导致过度卷入他人并忽视自我，这反过来又解释了毫无保留的交融与困扰之间的关系。
