摘要

過去文獻指出，人們在日常生活中所經驗到的負面情緒，可以透過人際互動的方式進行情緒調節，尤其如果伴侶採取情緒參與策略來安慰對方，會使訴苦者對於互動產生良好的感受，長期下來會預期伴侶關係的提升。而情緒相似性的相關研究則發現，伴侶之間的情緒相似性可能會藉由增進伴侶協調，來促進情緒參與策略提升伴侶關係的效果。並且為捕捉人際情緒調節歷程中，伴侶立即且真實的情緒反應，測量上選用生理同步指標，以反映伴侶間的情緒相似性。基於上述，本研究將探討生理同步程度是否在情緒參與策略預測伴侶關係的路徑中扮演調節變項的角色。研究採單一組前後測設計，且為了模擬日常生活中伴侶的人際情緒調節歷程，邀請伴侶來到實驗室分享生活中的難過事件，並填寫情緒參與策略使用量表、互動品質量表及關係品質量表，同時配戴生理回饋儀紀錄伴侶安慰對方時的膚電變化，用以計算伴侶雙方的生理同步指數。實驗結果共招募到41對伴侶，有效樣本35對。主要分析方式為階層迴歸，結果發現：（1）膚電生理同步可以調節安慰者的情緒參與策略對訴苦者的互動品質之影響。（2）高生理同步的前提下，安慰者的情緒參與策略使用能正向預測訴苦者的互動品質；在低生理同步的情況下，安慰者的情緒參與策略無法預測訴苦者的互動品質。（3）生理同步並未能調節安慰者的情緒參與策略對訴苦者長期關係品質之影響。總結來說，本研究的貢獻在於發現生理同步對於情緒參與策略提升訴苦者互動品質具有調節效果，此發現突顯生理同步對於伴侶關係的重要性，也提供伴侶進行人際情緒調節的策略建議。

Previous research had shown that affective engagement strategy can predict couples’ relationships. However, few studies discussed the impact of differences in physiological synchronization between couples on interpersonal emotion regulation strategy. The main purpose of the present study is to examine whether physiological synchronization can moderate the relationship between affective engagement strategy and couples’ relationships. We hypothesized that affective engagement strategy will increase couples’ relationships, and physiological synchronization may strengthen that affective engagement strategy increase couples’ relationships. Participants were 35 couples. They completed the affective engagement strategy use scale, the interactive quality scale and the relationship quality scale, while wearing a physiological feedback device to record the skin conductivity changes when the partner comforts each other. The results showed that skin conductivity physiological synchronization can moderate the relationship between affective engagement strategy and couples’ interaction quality. Under high physiological synchronization, the affective engagement strategy can positively predict complainer's interaction quality, however in the case of low physiological synchronization, the affective engagement strategy cannot predict the complainer's interaction quality and relationship quality. This study demonstrated that physiological synchronization plays a crucial role in the relationship between affective engagement strategy and interaction quality, and advised couples on strategies for regulating emotions.
