Heterosexual couples (N = 57) discussed features about each other they wanted to change. During a review of their recorded discussions, for each 30 s of interaction, perceives provided judgments of their partner’s regard, and partners reported their actual regard for the perceive. The authors simultaneously assessed the extent to which perceives’ over- or underestimated their partner’s regard (mean-level bias) and tracked their partner’s changing regard across the discussion (tracking accuracy). Perceives on average tended to underestimate their partner’s regard (negative mean-level bias) but exhibited substantial tracking accuracy. Bias and accuracy were related; perceives that were more negatively biased more accurately tracked changes in their partner’s regard. Women who were more insecure about their partner’s continued regard demonstrated more negative mean-level bias and greater tracking accuracy, whereas more secure women demonstrated more positive bias and lower accuracy. The results indicate that bias and accuracy are shaped by context-relevant goals and motives.
