ABSTRACT A longstanding tradition in communication research is that people have goals for communicative encounters. Communication research has evolved to better acknowledge that goals are malleable and can change during interactions. Drawing upon the history of communication goals theorizing and research, we elaborate three properties emerging from the juxtaposition of goals and time. We then explore theoretical accounts of goal change and options for data acquisition. We end with speculation on how goal dynamics might stimulate new questions about interpersonal communication and, perhaps, move the field into a new phase of inquiry.

动态目标过程：人际交往研究的议程

摘要 传播研究的一个长期传统是人们有交流接触的目标。传播研究已经发展到更好地承认目标是可塑的，并且可以在交互过程中改变。借鉴传播目标理论化和研究的历史，我们阐述了从目标和时间的并置中出现的三个特性。然后我们探索目标变化的理论解释和数据采集的选择。我们最后猜测目标动态如何激发有关人际交流的新问题，并可能使该领域进入新的探究阶段。
