Although loneliness has been associated with negative perceptions of social life in past research, little is known about the implications of loneliness for interpersonal perception within close relationships. The current research includes three studies (total N = 1,197) suggesting that loneliness is associated with a negative bias in perceiving relationship partners' regard and care and that this bias partially accounts for the effects of loneliness on lower relationship quality and problematic interpersonal behaviors. Loneliness was associated with perceiving family members (Study 1), friends (Studies 1 and 2), and romantic partners (Studies 1-3) as less admiring and caring, and these effects were independent of a variety of accuracy benchmarks, including partners' self-reports (Studies 1-3), reports from informants (Study 2), and objective observers' assessments of partners' responsive behavior (Study 3). Loneliness also predicted changes in perceptions of partners' regard over time (Study 3) and indirectly predicted lower relationship satisfaction, commitment, self-disclosure, and support provision through negative perceptions of relationship partners' regard and care (Studies 1-3). Studies 2 and 3 replicated these results in terms of day-to-day experiences (total daily observations = 16,064). The negative perceptions of partners' regard and care associated with loneliness predicted subsequent loneliness (Studies 2-3). Loneliness effects were statistically independent of self-esteem and attachment insecurity in all studies. Taken together, these findings suggest that, due to negative biases in perceiving relationship partners' regard and care, loneliness may compromise the quality of close relationships, motivate interpersonally problematic behaviors, and become persistent. Implications are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

孤独如何破坏亲密关系并随着时间的推移持续存在：感知到的尊重和关心的作用。


尽管在过去的研究中，孤独感与对社会生活的负面认知有关，但人们对孤独感对亲密关系中人际感知的影响知之甚少。目前的研究包括三项研究（总计 N = 1,197），表明孤独感与感知伴侣的关注和关心的负面偏见有关，并且这种偏见部分解释了孤独感对较低的关系质量和有问题的人际行为的影响。孤独与认为家庭成员（研究 1）、朋友（研究 1 和 2）和浪漫伴侣（研究 1-3）较少钦佩和关心有关，并且这些影响与各种准确性基准无关，包括伴侣的自我报告（研究 1-3）、知情者报告（研究 2）以及客观观察者对合作伙伴响应行为的评估（研究 3）。孤独还预测随着时间的推移，对伴侣的尊重的看法会发生变化（研究 3），并通过对关系伴侣的尊重和关心的负面认知间接预测较低的关系满意度、承诺、自我表露和支持提供（研究 1-3）。研究 2 和 3 在日常经验方面复制了这些结果（每日观察总数 = 16,064）。与孤独相关的伴侣关注和照顾的负面认知预示着随后的孤独（研究 2-3）。在所有研究中，孤独效应在统计上与自尊和依恋不安全感无关。 总而言之，这些研究结果表明，由于在感知伴侣的关心和照顾方面存在负面偏见，孤独感可能会损害亲密关系的质量，引发人际问题行为，并变得持久。讨论了影响。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
