A social psychological study of mutuality between cognition and verbal communication

基于实验社会心理学、发展心理学、文化心理学和语言学（语用学）的跨学科方法揭示了言语交际和认知过程之间的相互决定，这可能是人际和群际环境中主要冲突的基础。研究结果表明，言语行为和认知过程都依赖于交际双方对共同点的相互理解。研究结果也为解决人际、群体间和文化间冲突的实用策略提供了启示。

An interdisciplinary approach based on experimental social psychology, developmental psychology, cultural psychology, and linguistics(pragmatics) has revealed mutual determination between verbal communication and cognitive processes which may underlie major conflicts in interpersonal and intergroup settings. The results of the study indicates that verbal acts as well as cognitive processes both rest on interactants mutual understanding of their common grounds. The results have also provided implications for practical strategies for resolving interpersonal, interegroup, and inter-cultural conflicts.
