两个完全陌生的人,只要通过相互问36个问题,就可以快速建立亲密关系。你相信吗?
这就是美国心理学家亚瑟·阿伦曾经做过一项研究,他设计出来一些问题,请参与者互相询问对方,来测试彼此关系的增进程度。这些问题具有持续性、不断深入性、双向性以及自我人格剖析的特点。实验证明,这些问题确实让参与者们明显感觉互相之间的亲密关系增强了。
后来,有人又组织陌生单身男女一起,用这36个问题,测试两个陌生人是不是可以迅速地爱上对方。
活动结果显示,效果惊人。美国的一位专栏作者参加了这个活动,亲历了两个陌生人轮流问对方36个问题,随着问题越来越私人化,两个人四目相对,一言不发地对视了4分钟--结局是两个人相爱了!
你是不是很急切的想要知道这36个问题呢?不要急,后面会有详细的中英对照版。
亚瑟·阿伦的36个问题背后的心理学原理也很经典:自我暴露理论。
跟一个人的关系从陌生到亲密,是从建立“共情”开始的,简言之,就是能够从对方的角度看到并理解这个世界,共情能让彼此产生信任,如果你确信对方理解你你也能理解对方的心声,自然会有一种“知己”的感觉。
而日常生活中,我们是很难有这样的机会来表达和暴露这些问题的。
通过这些问题中大量的引导表达观点和表达感受,从而引导两个人更高效的自我暴露,达成亲密关系。不过在日常生活中,我们很难信任一个陌生人而去和对方沟通这36个问题。
所以这个问题也是有个前提条件的。如果彼此都不认真回答问题,那么也很难充分暴露彼此,就更谈不上亲密关系了。
下面附上详细的问题清单。
