The review reports Stinson and Ickes's (1992) study using the videotaped unstructured-interaction procedure, finding "male friends were more accurate in reading each other's thoughts and feelings than male strangers". No effect size is printed; the review notes the result awaits generalization beyond male college students.

"By using their procedure of video-taping unstructured interactions (see Ickes et al., 1990), they found that male friends were more accurate in reading each other's thoughts and feelings than male strangers."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Motivation generally increases SPT accuracy, but some goals can motivate inaccuracy — related
• Longer exposure to an SPT target showed a non-significant trend toward greater accuracy — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Social dynamics — trust, friendship, openness, and rudeness — shape the effectiveness of dialogic interactions — related
