36个问题,1个小时,让3对年迈的夫妻感慨流泪,不管你们现在是处于热恋期,或是平淡期,还是暧昧期,都非常推荐你们做一下这个测试,让你真正了解你的伴侣,也让你的伴侣触及你心里最深的那一面。这36个问题出自「人类亲密关系产生实验」,是美国著名心理学博士Arthur Aron所创作的。
他想证明陌生的两个人可以通过分享私密的想法可以创造感情,甚至相爱。过程中,异性志愿者们进入一个封闭幽静的实验室,面对面坐下,回答摆在桌子上的,越来越私密的问题。最后他们静静地盯着对方的眼睛看了四分钟。结果相信大家也都能猜到,半年后,其中的一对陌生男女成功迈入婚姻的殿堂,同时还邀请了当时实验室的伙伴们参加婚礼为他们祝福。
而真正让这些问题蹿红的人,是我非常崇拜的心理学教授Mandy Len Catron,她在《纽约时报》刊登了她和一位偶尔在攀岩馆碰到的大学同学进行这次实验的经历。最后,他们顺理成章地在一起了,与此同时,这篇文章的点击像火箭一样上蹿,(在现在就是转遍朋友圈的10w+),越来越多的人评论说他们成功了!
而再次让这个实验掀起舆论的是纽约时报的另一期节目,它邀请了三对年迈的不同职业人种的夫妻来做这个实验,结果让人看得流泪,大家意识到这个实验其实情侣之间做效果更好。
您可以百度“36个问题”,当然有些可能翻译的不太准确,为了方便大家,我把我稍微修改过翻译的全集贴在最下面。
事先印好这些问题,然后按顺序一张张放好,从第一题开始,不用纠结谁先开始问谁先开始答,找一个让你们双方都感觉舒适的环境。然后就可以开始了。
最后凝视四分钟。(特别重要)
那么这36个问题背后隐藏的魔力是什么呢?
我们可以发现,在这36个问题中,超过半数是在剖析自我,逼着自己直视自己心中翻涌的情绪,被自己隐藏起来的生活阴影,涉及到最隐私的童年,价值观,未来目标等。
而这些东西,可能是你和ta相处几年都不会触及到的话题,或者是自欺欺人隐藏起来的秘密。
然后在这样一个相互脆弱,但是又相互依靠的氛围之下,孤男寡女共处一室,再对视四分钟。我询问了心理系的朋友,他告诉我其中确实有奥妙之处,这些问题可以和心理学界的一个著名理论放在一起看,由心理学家Irvin Altman和 Dalmas Taylor提出的「social penetration theory」(社会渗透理论)。
他们的一个重要假设就是,自我披露(self-disclosure)是关系发展的核心,程度越高,亲密关系就越深化,甚至达到预测对方情绪的水平。
自我披露可以分为四层:
隐私包括不为社会所接受的想法和念头,个人癖好等。很明显,随着问题的推进,我们暴露的部分从金字塔的底端到达最隐私的部分。通常人们只会对非常信任的、关系极为亲密的人分享秘密,而秘密的隐秘程度也和关系的深厚成正比。
这36道题目,正好让你们从粗浅的了解过渡到到欣赏,再到赞叹,到喜欢,最后深深沉迷,是一个有来有回的过程。营造出一个相互欣赏,相互保护,充满依靠和幸福感的氛围。
