Compared with empathy in response to a partner(cid:859)s positi(cid:448)e e(cid:454)pe(cid:396)ie(cid:374)(cid:272)es, empathy for a partner(cid:859)s (cid:374)eeds and concerns is more likely to lead to action to alleviate the partner(cid:859)s distress. Close relationships that are based predominantly on empathic experience will evidence less threat or distress in response to aversive relationship events. If relationships based on empathic experiences do end, the dissolution will be less destructive, it will more likely end because one partner cannot meet the other(cid:859)s needs, and the couple is more likely to maintain positive ongoing contact.
