这项研究调查了日本和美国的行人经过同盟国时的微互动。具体来说，在一项对 1000 多名参与者进行的实地研究中，研究了同伙的文化、条件（回避、只看、看加微笑）和性别对过往行人的眼神、微笑、点头和问候的影响。对行人的目光、微笑、点头和问候进行的一系列对数线性分析支持了以下假设：（1）日本行人的反应能力低于美国行人；（2）反应能力随条件而增加。然而，这两种主要影响都可以通过微笑、点头和问候方面的文化 X 条件相互作用来限定，美国行人中存在较大的条件影响，但日本行人中不存在。研究结果从眼神、微笑、点头和问候在这些短暂接触中的作用以及不同的文化规范如何影响日本和美国人的反应进行了讨论。最后，讨论了本研究的局限性以及该研究范式的更广泛实用性。
This study examined the microinteractions of pedestrians in Japan and in the United States as they walked past a confederate. Specifically, the effects of culture, condition (avoid, look-only, and look plus smile) and sex of confederate on glances, smiles, nods, and greetings by passing pedestrians were examined in a field study on over 1000 participants. The hypotheses of (1) lower responsiveness in Japanese pedestrians than in American pedestrians and (2) increased responsiveness as a function of condition were supported in a series of log-linear analyses of pedestrian glances, smiles, nods, and greetings. Both of these main effects were, however, qualified by Culture X Condition interactions on smiles, nods, and greetings, with the large condition effects present in the American pedestrians, but absent in the Japanese pedestrians. The results are discussed in terms of the functions of glances, smiles, nods, and greetings in these brief encounters and how differing cultural norms affect Japanese and American responsiveness. Finally, the limitations of this study and the broader utility of this research paradigm are discussed.
