戏弄是暧昧的。虽然从字面上看,挑逗的内容是负面的,但挑逗者很少打算从字面上理解他们的挑逗。为了达到这个目的,取笑者通常会试图通过手势、面部表情或语调来传达他们“只是开玩笑”的信息,以减轻取笑的负面表面内容。这里提出的研究表明,这样的尝试往往被置若罔闻。尽管戏弄者试图缓和戏弄,但被戏弄者的善意往往并不知情,也不为所动。因此,戏弄者和被戏弄者对戏弄的看法存在系统性差异:尽管戏弄者通常认为戏弄是无辜和好玩的,但被戏弄者往往认为戏弄是恶意的。
Teasing is ambiguous. Although the literal content of a tease is, by definition, negative, seldom do teasers intend for their tease to be taken literally. Toward this aim, teasers often attempt to mitigate the negative surface content of the tease by communicating via gesture, facial expression, or tone of voice that they are "just kidding." The research presented here suggests that such attempts often fall on deaf ears. Despite teasers' attempts to mitigate the tease, targets are often unaware of-and unmoved by-the teaser's benign intentions. As a result, teasers and targets systematically differ in their perceptions of teasing: Although it is often seen as innocent and playful by the teaser, it tends to be construed as considerably more malicious by the target.
