在交谈中，人们面临着在建立理解和做出有趣而独特的贡献之间的权衡。在决定引用哪些概念时，人们如何权衡这一点？他们对谈话对象的了解有多深重要吗？在目前的研究中，参与者与伙伴或单独进行了意识流单词联想--对话和独白的简化版本。参与者与陌生人的联系在语义上更窄，更容易预测(研究1)，这表明他们限制了他们的联系，以建立相互理解。增加亲密度(研究2)或有先前的关系(研究3)并不能缓和这种影响。因此，即使在一项不依赖于建立相互理解的任务中，人们也会为了被理解而牺牲有趣。
During conversations, people face a trade-off between establishing understanding and making interesting and unique contributions. How do people balance this when deciding which concepts to reference, and does it matter how well they know their conversation partner? In the present work, participants made stream-of-consciousness word associations either with a partner or alone—simplified versions of dialogue and monologue. Participants made semantically narrower and more predictable word associations with a stranger than alone (Study 1), suggesting that they constrain their associations to establish mutual understanding. Increasing closeness (Study 2) or having a prior relationship (Study 3) did not moderate this effect. Thus, even during a task that does not depend on establishing mutual understanding, people sacrifice being interesting for the sake of being understood.
