In the current study, the audiotapes from three hostage-taking situations were analyzed. Hostage negotiator requests to the hostage taker were characterized as either high or low probability. The results suggested that hostage-taker compliance to a hostage negotiator's low-probability request was more likely when a series of complied-with high-probability requests preceded the low-probability request. However, two of the three hostage-taking situations ended violently; therefore, the implications of the high-probability request sequence for hostage-taking situations should be assessed in future research.
在当前的研究中，分析了三个劫持人质情况的录音带。人质谈判代表向劫持者提出的要求被描述为高概率或低概率。结果表明，当一系列遵循的高概率请求先于低概率请求时，劫持者更有可能遵守人质谈判代表的低概率请求。然而，这三个劫持人质情况中有两个以暴力告终；因此，在未来的研究中应该评估高概率请求序列对劫持人质情况的影响。
