This study examined the effects of repeated instances of underaccommodation (i.e., insufficiently adjusted communication) on people's perceptions and evaluations of communication and speakers. Participants (N = 179) completed a series of three map-based tasks that required them to follow directions that contained insufficient information. Consistent with hypotheses, as underaccommodation accumulated across tasks, participants inferred less positive motives for the speaker's communication, and inferences about motive for each task contributed directly and indirectly to overall evaluations of both the speaker and their communication. These results indicate that accumulated underaccommodation is consequential, and underscore the theoretical importance of motive attributions to predicting reactions to underaccommodation.

适应不足的累积对适应不足的沟通者和说话者感知的影响

这项研究研究了反复的适应不足情况（即沟通调整不足）对人们对沟通和说话者的看法和评估的影响。参与者（N = 179）完成了一系列三个基于地图的任务，要求他们遵循包含不足信息的指示。与假设相一致的是，由于任务之间的适应性不足，参与者推断出说话者交流的积极动机较弱，对每个任务动机的推论直接或间接地影响了说话者及其交流的整体评价。这些结果表明累积的食物不足是必然的，并强调了动机归因对预测食物不足反应的理论重要性。
