Two experiments were conducted to examine the interpersonal decision-making performance of women and men with and without mental retardation. In Experiment 1, adults with mental retardation listened to either short or long vignettes depicting situations in which a female or male protagonist was faced with a decision involving either a peer or authority figure. In Experiment 2, adults without mental retardation were presented with long versions of the vignettes. As expected, the task was considerably more difficult for the participants with mental retardation, possibly because of differences in their ability to fully comprehend the social situations. Women in both studies outperformed men. Results suggest that emotional and motivational factors may have contributed to these differences.
进行了两项实验，以检验有和没有智力障碍的女性和男性的人际决策表现。在实验1中，患有智力障碍的成年人听取了简短或冗长的 vignettes，这些 vignettes 描述了女性或男性主角面临涉及同龄人或权威人物的决策的情况。在实验2中，没有智力障碍的成年人看到的是 vignettes 的长版本。正如预期的那样，智力障碍参与者完成这项任务要困难得多，这可能是因为他们充分理解社会情境的能力存在差异。两项研究中的女性表现均优于男性。结果表明，情绪和动机因素可能导致了这些差异。
