Abstract Statistical analysis of quantitative and qualitative data collected via an online questionnaire from 429 participants who were in an intercultural relationship revealed strongly divided opinions on the pragmatic challenges of communicating emotions with their partner. Though most participants reported some degree of difficulty, most agreed that love and emotional acculturation helped them overcome language barriers. Difficulties in communication were attributed to linguistic, pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic issues by almost three quarters of the participants who filled out an open question. Participants with higher scores on Emotional Stability, Flexibility and – marginally – Openmindedness, male participants and participants with high levels of education reported fewer difficulties. Partners in intercultural couples thus faced serious and sometimes totally unexpected pragmatic challenges in communicating emotions but generally managed to overcome the obstacles after some months.

跨文化夫妻情感交流中的务实挑战

摘要对来自429名处于跨文化关系中的参与者的在线问卷进行的定量和定性数据的统计分析显示，对于与伴侣交流情感的务实挑战存在强烈分歧。尽管大多数参与者报告了一定程度的困难，但大多数人同意爱情和情感上的适应有助于他们克服语言障碍。几乎四分之三的参与者在回答开放式问题时将语言，实用语言和社会实用问题归结为沟通困难。参与者在情绪稳定性，灵活性和-轻度开放态度方面得分较高，男性参与者和受过较高教育的参与者的困难较少。
