Interactional adjustment refers to people’s tendency to adjust, or adapt, their communication behavior in social interactions. In recent years, three distinctive approaches to this topic that have featured prominently in the Journal of Language and Social Psychology are communication accommodation theory (CAT), language style matching (LSM), and discursive psychology using conversation analysis (DPCA). In this article, we provide a review of these three approaches, highlighting what defines and distinguishes them, as well as what insights into interactional adjustment each offers. We draw out the connections and points of tensions between these approaches; in so doing, we identify future directions for research on interactional adjustment as a fundamental aspect of human communication, and in the study of language and social psychology.

互动调整：语言和社会心理学的三种方法

互动调整是指人们在社交互动中调整或适应其交流行为的倾向。近年来，在《语言与社会心理学杂志》上占据突出地位的三种独特方法是交流适应理论 (CAT)、语言风格匹配 (LSM) 和使用对话分析的话语心理学 (DPCA)。在本文中，我们对这三种方法进行了回顾，重点介绍了它们的定义和区别，以及每种方法提供的对交互调整的见解。我们列出了这些方法之间的联系和紧张点；在这样做的过程中，我们确定了作为人类交流的一个基本方面的交互调整研究以及语言和社会心理学研究的未来方向。
