Building on previous studies (e.g., Kivlighan, 2007), we explored the application of actor-partner interdependence modeling (APIM) and the common fate model (CFM) in a multilevel framework to examine the dyadic multilevel associations between therapists' and clients' perceptions of working alliance and session quality. Forty-four therapists and their 284 adult community clients completed measures of working alliance and session quality after every session (a total of 8,188 sessions included in this study). We used APIM to unravel the mutual interdependence between therapist and client perceptions and used CFM to model both the shared and individual perceptions of the therapists and clients. APIM analyses showed that, at the between-session level, therapist and client perception of the session quality each was significantly predicted by the other's perception of the working alliance. At the between-client level, only therapist perception of the session quality was significantly predicted by the client's perception of the working alliance. There were no significant partner effects at the between-therapist level. CFM analyses showed that therapist-client shared perceptions of working alliance significantly predicted their shared perception of session quality at all three levels. In contrast, individual perceptions of working alliance correlated with individual perceptions of session quality for therapists only at the between-therapist and between-session levels, and for clients only at the between-client and between-session levels. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

重温“关系在哪里”：利用行动者-伙伴相互依赖模型和共同命运模型来检验二元工作联盟和会话质量。


基于之前的研究（例如，Kivlighan，2007），我们探索了演员-伴侣相互依赖模型（APIM）和共同命运模型（CFM）在多层次框架中的应用，以检查治疗师和客户认知之间的二元多层次关联工作联盟和会议质量。 44 名治疗师和他们的 284 名成人社区客户在每次治疗后完成了工作联盟和治疗质量的测量（本研究总共包括 8,188 次治疗）。我们使用 APIM 来揭示治疗师和客户认知之间的相互依赖关系，并使用 CFM 来模拟治疗师和客户的共享和个人认知。 APIM 分析表明，在会话之间的层面上，治疗师和客户对会话质量的看法可以通过对方对工作联盟的看法来显着预测。在客户之间的层面上，只有治疗师对会议质量的看法可以通过客户对工作联盟的看法来显着预测。在治疗师之间的层面上没有显着的合作伙伴效应。 CFM 分析表明，治疗师与来访者对工作联盟的共同看法显着预测了他们对所有三个层面的治疗质量的共同看法。相比之下，对于治疗师而言，工作联盟的个人看法仅在治疗师之间和会话之间的水平上与个人对会议质量的看法相关，对于客户而言，仅在客户之间和会话之间的水平上相关。讨论了理论、方法和实践的意义。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
