Intimate relationships matter to health and happiness. However, the vast scope of relationship research and the abundance of precise micro-theories has presented obstacles to the development of integrative theories with contextual-behavioral foundations that are oriented towards application of findings in domains of public health significance. Derived from the well-validated Interpersonal Process Model, which described intimacy as a dyadic exchange in which Person A engages in a vulnerable self-disclosure, Person B enacts a response, and Person A perceives the response as responsive, we present an integrative, analytic-abstractive, contextual-behavioral model of intimate relations. The model describes the intimacy process as a set of functional relations describing behaviors and responses of Persons A and B in context, languaged as middle-level terms to facilitate cross-disciplinary applications. Three primary relations of the model are non-verbal emotional expression (Person A) and safety (Person B), verbal self-disclosure (Person A) and validation (Person B), and asking (Person A) and giving (Person B). The model also emphasizes the importance of self- and other-awareness, expressions of closeness, and reciprocity as additional terms. Future research directions and potential applications are discussed.

亲密关系对健康和幸福至关重要。但是，关系研究的广泛范围和精确的微观理论的丰富性给发展具有情境行为基础的综合理论带来了障碍，这些基础旨在将研究结果应用于具有公共卫生意义的领域。源自经过充分验证的人际交往过程模型，该模型将亲密性描述为二元交换，其中人A参与了脆弱的自我披露，人B做出了回应，而人A则认为回应是回应，我们提出了一种综合的分析亲密关系的抽象，情境行为模型。该模型将亲密过程描述为一组功能关系，这些功能关系描述了环境A和B的行为和响应，作为中级术语使用，以促进跨学科应用。模型的三个主要关系是非语言情感表达（人A）和安全性（人B），语言自我披露（人A）和验证（人B）以及询问（人A）和给予（人B） 。该模型还强调了自我意识和其他意识，亲密关系的表达和互惠的重要性。讨论了未来的研究方向和潜在的应用。和互惠作为附加条款。讨论了未来的研究方向和潜在的应用。和互惠作为附加条款。讨论了未来的研究方向和潜在的应用。
