ABSTRACT Relational depth (RD) refers to moments in a therapeutic relationship in which a person has feelings of aliveness, satisfaction and immersion. However, no research has yet tested for the association between RD and concepts closely aligned with Carl Rogers’ hypothesis of how people change in a growth-promoting relationship. In this study, 55 therapy clients completed the relational depth inventory (RDI), the unconditional positive self-regard scale (UPSR) and the authenticity scale (AS). It was found that higher scores on the RDI were associated with higher scores on the UPSR and the AS. These results provide initial evidence for the growth-promoting effects of RD. Further prospective research is now warranted.

关系深度的积极心理学及其与无条件积极自尊和真实性的关联

摘要 关系深度 (RD) 是指治疗关系中一个人有活力、满足和沉浸感的时刻。然而，还没有研究测试 RD 与概念之间的关联，这些概念与卡尔·罗杰斯关于人们如何在促进增长的关系中发生变化的假设密切相关。在这项研究中，55 名治疗客户完成了关系深度量表 (RDI)、无条件积极自尊量表 (UPSR) 和真实性量表 (AS)。结果发现，RDI 的较高分数与 UPSR 和 AS 的较高分数相关。这些结果为 RD 的生长促进作用提供了初步证据。现在需要进一步的前瞻性研究。
