Bandura argues that individuals are more likely to engage in social learning when they identify with a social model and when they are motivated or rewarded. Therefore, in the present work, we investigate how these two key factors, perceived similarity and affiliative motivation, influence the extent to which individuals engage in social tuning or align their views with an interaction partner-especially if their partner's attitudes differ from the larger social group. Experiment 1 (170 participants) explored the role of perceived similarity through group membership when needing to work collaboratively with a collaboration partner whose climate change beliefs differed from a larger social group. Experiment 2 (115 participants) directly manipulated affiliative motivation (i.e., length of interaction time) along with perceived similarity (i.e., Greek Life membership) to explore if these factors influenced social tuning of drinking attitudes and behaviors. Experiments 3 (69 participants) and 4 (93 participants) replicated Experiment 2 and examined whether tuning occurred for explicit and implicit attitudes towards weight (negative views Experiment 3 and positive views Experiment 4). Results indicate that when individuals experience high affiliative motivation, they are more likely to engage in social tuning of explicit and implicit attitudes when their interaction partner belongs to their ingroup rather than their outgroup. These findings are consistent with the tenets of Social Learning Theory, Shared Reality Theory, and the affiliative social tuning hypothesis.
班杜拉认为，当个体认同一个社会榜样并且有动机或得到奖励时，他们更有可能进行社会学习。因此，在本研究中，我们调查了这两个关键因素，即感知到的相似性和归属动机，如何影响个体进行社会调适或使自己的观点与互动伙伴保持一致的程度——尤其是当他们伙伴的态度与更大的社会群体不同时。实验1（170名参与者）探讨了在需要与一位气候变化信念与更大社会群体不同的合作伙伴合作时，群体成员身份所带来的感知相似性的作用。实验2（115名参与者）直接操纵了归属动机（即互动时间长度）以及感知相似性（即希腊生活成员身份），以探究这些因素是否会影响饮酒态度和行为的社会调适。实验3（69名参与者）和实验4（93名参与者）重复了实验2，并检验了对于体重的显性和隐性态度（实验3为负面观点，实验4为正面观点）是否会出现调适。结果表明，当个体体验到高归属动机时，若其互动伙伴属于其 ingroup 而非 outgroup，他们更有可能对显性和隐性态度进行社会调适。这些发现与社会学习理论、共享现实理论以及归属社会调适假设的原则相一致。
