【摘要】维系多重亲密关系往往伴随着一些风险与复杂性,这些风险与复杂性是排他性伴侣结合(即一夫一妻制)所不具备的。尽管人们普遍认为,在双方知情同意基础上的非一夫一妻制(CNM;例如多边恋、换伴性爱或开放式关系)有助于降低上述风险与复杂性,但迄今为止,尚无研究尝试全面梳理典型的CNM风险管理实践,也未曾分析采用这些实践的人群其关系结果如何。为此,我们开发了“多重关系维系量表”(MRMS),旨在考察对于拥有一位或多位伴侣的人群而言,参与常见的CNM实践如何预测其关系质量。在研究1中,我们招募了一个具有CNM经历的社区样本(N=429),请受访者列举维系CNM关系的“最佳实践”。我们将受访者的反馈与基于理论推导出的实践条目相结合,最终构建了MRMS。在研究2中,我们通过三项国际在线问卷调查(N=4,290)施测了MRMS,旨在评估该量表的因子结构与构念效度。因子分析结果揭示了九项具体的实践:向伴侣坦诚自己对伴侣以外对象的吸引感、就嫉妒情绪进行坦诚沟通、体验“伴侣之乐”(compersion,即因伴侣与他人亲密而感到喜悦)、愿意照料非亲生子女、共同参与伴侣以外的性体验、伴侣关系中的(非)等级化安排、性健康维护、在伴侣间审慎分配资源,以及声誉管理。来自上述三项调查之一的数据(n=871)显示,每一项实践都呈现出独特的关联模式,这些关联对象包括:既往的CNM经历、关系满意度与性满意度、伴侣间的投入与相互依赖程度,以及自我报告的不忠行为(即当与伴侣以外的对象互动时,在多大程度上感觉自己违背了现有关系中的约定)。最后,我们探讨了如何利用MRMS这一工具,来深入研究处于CNM关系中的个体是如何维系其多重亲密关系的。

[Abstract] Maintaining multiple intimate relationships entails some risks and complications beyond exclusive pair bonding (i.e., monogamy). Consensual non-monogamy (CNM; e.g., polyamory, swinging, or open relationships) allegedly reduces these risks and complications, but no one has tried to comprehensively document typical CNM risk management practices, nor analyzed the relationship outcomes of those who use these practices. We developed the Multiple Relationships Maintenance Scale (MRMS) to examine how engagement in common CNM practices predicts relationship quality among people with one or more partners. In Study 1, a community sample of people with CNM experience (N?=?429) nominated the best practices for maintaining CNM. Responses were combined with theory-derived practices to create the MRMS. In Study 2, we administered the MRMS in three international online surveys (N?=?4,290) to assess factor structure and construct validity. Factor analysis revealed nine practices: disclosure of one’s extra-pair attractions to a partner, open communication about jealousy, compersion, willingness to care for unrelated children, shared extra-pair sexual experiences, partner (non)hierarchy, sexual health maintenance, thoughtful resource distribution among partners, and reputation management. Data from one of the three surveys (n?=?871) showed that each practice had distinctive patterns of association with previous CNM experience, relationship and sexual satisfaction, partner investment and interdependence, and self-reported infidelity (i.e., how often extra-pair interactions feel to violate an existing relationship’s agreements). We discuss how the MRMS may be used to study how people in CNM relationships maintain multiple intimate relationships.
