Attachment Style and Tolerance for Ambiguity Effects on Relational Repair Message Interpretation Among Remarrieds

This study examined the role of the dispositional variables of attachment style and tolerance for ambiguity on the interpretation of relational repair messages. Respondents completed questionnaires that measured attachment style and tolerance for ambiguity and made interpretations of hypothetical repair messages from their spouses with varying levels of equivocation. The resulting interpretations were measured along the dimensions of honesty, competence, and politeness using Likert-type scales. Regression and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) demonstrated that both of the traits influenced the interpretation of repair messages, although in somewhat different ways and along different dimensions.     

含糊其辞与语用协同

言语交际中,含糊其辞话语会产生语言协同、语境协同、信息协同、语用不协同等语用现象。语用协同既是成功交际的基础,也是言语交际顺利进行的有效运作机制。语用不协同虽会给交际带来一定的负面影响,但也不会造成交际完全失败。
