We examined tracking accuracy and bias (mean-level and projection) in people's perceptions of their romantic partner's relationship approach and avoidance motives, similarity in partners' motives, and positive and negative emotions as potential cues used to make judgments about a partner's daily motives and motives during shared activities. Using data from 2 studies, 1 using daily diaries (N = 2,158 daily reports), the other using reports of shared activities (N = 1,228 activity reports), we found evidence of tracking accuracy and projection across samples; we also found evidence of mean-level bias such that people underperceived their partner's approach (daily) and avoidance motives (daily and in shared activities). Partners had similar daily approach and avoidance motives but were not similar in their motives during shared activities. Further, our studies indicated that emotions often serve as relevant, available, and detectable cues for judging a partner's motives. The results demonstrate that accuracy and bias are both present in judgments of a romantic partner's approach and avoidance motives, and that people often, but not always, use their partner's emotions to make such judgments.

浪漫伴侣的态度和回避动机的感知：准确性，偏见和情感暗示。

我们研究了人们对他们浪漫伴侣的关系方式和回避动机的理解中的追踪准确性和偏见（均值水平和投射），伴侣动机的相似性以及作为判断伴侣的日常动机和潜在动机的正面和负面情绪。共享活动的动机。使用来自2个研究的数据，其中1个使用每日日志（N = 2,158个每日报告），另一个使用共享活动的报告（N = 1,228个活动报告），我们发现了跟踪准确性和跨样本预测的证据。我们还发现了平均水平偏见的证据，例如人们对伴侣的方式（日常）和回避动机（日常和共享活动）的理解不足。合作伙伴的日常活动和回避动机相似，但在共享活动中动机不同。此外，我们的研究表明，情绪通常是判断伴侣动机的相关，可用和可检测的线索。结果表明，在对浪漫伴侣的态度和回避动机的判断中都存在准确性和偏见，而且人们经常但并非总是利用伴侣的情感做出这样的判断。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。人们经常但并非总是使用伴侣的情感做出这样的判断。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。人们经常但并非总是使用伴侣的情感做出这样的判断。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
