Abstract

The current study explored the influence of different levels of speaker coherence on rule following and speaker preference. In Experiment 1, rules provided by three different speakers were either 100% accurate, 0% accurate, or 50% accurate/inaccurate. Experiment 2 was similar to Experiment 1 except that the speaker's coherence was adjusted to 80% accurate, 20% accurate, and 50% accurate/inaccurate, respectively. Overall, participants tended to follow coherent speaker rules and avoid following incoherent speaker rules during training and testing phases. The results also indicated that following and not following rules provided by speakers may be generalizable to novel stimuli and maintained in the absence of differential reinforcement (i.e., in experimental test phases). Additionally, in a preference test, participants tended to prefer coherent over incoherent and partially coherent speakers. Furthermore, participants tended to prefer the relatively more incoherent speaker (i.e., 0% or 20% accurate) over the 50% accurate coherent speaker in both experiments. Finally, a comparison of the results of both experiments indicated that different levels of relational coherence affected the variability of rule-following and speaker preference behaviors. These findings are discussed in the context of the complexities that appear to be involved in rule-following behaviors and speaker preference.

对关系一致性和规则遵循的分析:一致的说谎者比偶尔说真话的人更受欢迎。
本研究探讨了不同程度的说话者连贯性对规则遵循和说话者偏好的影响。在实验 1 中,由三个不同说话者提供的规则要么是 100% 准确,要么是 0% 准确,要么是 50% 准确/不准确。实验 2 与实验 1 相似,只是说话者的连贯度分别调整为 80%准确、20% 准确和 50%准确/不准确。总体而言,在训练和测试阶段,参与者倾向于遵循连贯的说话者规则,而避免遵循不连贯的说话者规则。研究结果还表明,遵循和不遵循说话者提供的规则可能会对新刺激产生普遍影响,并且在没有差异强化的情况下(即在实验测试阶段)仍能保持。此外,在偏好测试中,与不连贯和部分连贯的说话者相比,参与者倾向于偏好连贯的说话者。此外,在两次实验中,相对于准确率为 50%的连贯说话者,参与者倾向于更喜欢不连贯说话者(即准确率为 0% 或 20%)。最后,对两个实验结果的比较表明,不同程度的关系一致性会影响规则遵循和说话者偏好行为的变化。我们将结合规则遵循行为和说话者偏好所涉及的复杂性来讨论这些发现。
