我们的社交世界充满了有关其他人选择的信息，这些信息随后帮助我们推断他们未来的行为。对于在美国文化背景下社会化的个人来说，高度重视自主性和独立性，代理人自己选择的结果可能比另一个人选择的类似结果具有更高的预测价值。通过两个实验，我们测试了这种现象的个体发育；也就是说，婴儿是否对与主体获取物体相关的因果历史敏感。我们证明，平均而言，12.5 个月大的美国婴儿认为，采取行动比接受行动更能表明代理人的未来行为。此外，婴儿感知物体接收预示未来行为的程度存在显着的个体差异。具体来说，婴儿（被父母）认为自主性、社会化程度和行为越不自主，他们就越认为物体接收是未来行为的指示。研究结果根据个人和文化经验在早期理解有意行为中的作用进行了讨论。
Our social world is rich with information about other people’s choices, which subsequently inform our inferences about their future behavior. For individuals socialized within the American cultural context, which places a high value on autonomy and independence, outcomes that are the result of an agent’s own choices may hold more predictive value than similar outcomes that are the result of another person’s choices. Across two experiments we test the ontogeny of this phenomenon; that is, whether infants are sensitive to the causal history associated with an agent’s acquisition of an object. We demonstrate that on average, 12.5-month-old American infants view taking actions as a better indication of an agent’s future behavior than are receiving actions. Furthermore, there were significant individual differences in the extent to which infants perceived object receipt to be indicative of future behavior. Specifically, the less autonomous infants were perceived to be (by their parents), socialized to be, and behaved, the more they viewed object receipt as indicative of future behavior. The results are discussed in terms of the role of individual and cultural experience in early understanding of intentional action.
