The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of social intentions on action. Participants (N=13) were requested to reach towards, grasp an object, and either pass it to another person (social condition) or put it on a concave base (single-agent condition). Movements' kinematics was recorded using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. The results indicate that kinematics is sensitive to social intention. Movements performed for the 'social' condition were characterized by a kinematic pattern which differed from those obtained for the 'single-agent' condition. Results are discussed in terms of a motor simulation hypothesis, which assumes that the same mechanisms underlying motor intention are sensitive to social intentions.
本研究的目的是调查社会意图对行动的影响。要求参与者（N = 13）伸手去够、抓取一个物体，然后要么把它递给另一个人（社会情境），要么把它放在一个凹形底座上（单主体情境）。使用三维运动分析系统记录运动的运动学数据。结果表明，运动学对社会意图敏感。在“社会”情境下执行的动作具有一种运动学模式，该模式与在“单主体”情境下获得的模式不同。根据运动模拟假设对结果进行了讨论，该假设认为，构成运动意图基础的相同机制对社会意图敏感。
