Variables influencing inferences about a stranger's goal during an unsolicited social interaction were explored. Experiment 1 developed a procedure for identifying cues. Experiments 2 and 3 assessed the relative importance of various cues (space, time, characteristics of oneself, characteristics of the stranger, and the stranger's behavior) for goal judgments. Results indicated that situational context cues informed goal judgments in ways that were consistent with diagnosticity ratings and typicality ratings of those cues. Stranger characteristics and stranger behaviors affected goal judgments more than would be expected from these quantitative measures of their informativeness. Nonetheless, the results are consistent with a mental model view that assumes perceivers monitor situational cues present during interactions and that goal inferences are guided by the informativeness of these cues.
研究了在自发社交互动中影响对陌生人目标推断的变量。实验1开发了一种识别线索的程序。实验2和3评估了各种线索（空间、时间、自身特征、陌生人特征以及陌生人行为）在目标判断中的相对重要性。结果表明，情境线索以与这些线索的诊断性评级和典型性评级相一致的方式为目标判断提供信息。陌生人特征和陌生人行为对目标判断的影响比根据这些线索信息量的定量测量所预期的更大。尽管如此，这些结果与一种心理模型观点一致，该观点假设感知者会监测互动过程中出现的情境线索，并且目标推断受这些线索信息量的引导。
