The influence of theory of mind and perspective-taking on feedback production in dialogue
Résumé
We sought to determine whether dialogic feedback production depends on theory of mind (ToM) and perspective-taking (PT). An experiment was conducted in which pairs of participants played a collaborative puzzle game together. The main finding was that participants with higher PT scores produced more feedback markers, especially when their partner had a low PT score. This sheds light on how one’s partner’s dialogic needs are taken into account to improve interpersonal collaboration during dialogue.
