"Are you lying to me?"Suspicious Receivers' Interaction Goals and Strategic Behaviors within Dating Relationship
Unformatted Document Text:  Suspicious Receivers’ Goals and Behaviors 18 suspicious receiver experiences message uncertainty, partner uncertainty, and relationship uncertainty (RQ1). Overall, participants reported a moderate level of message uncertainty (M = 3.79, SD = 1.74), partner uncertainty (M = 3.62, SD = 1.17), and relationship uncertainty (M = 3.87, SD = 1.62). Regarding relationship uncertainty, participants reported higher level of uncertainty in terms of the future (M = 4.03, SD = 1.91), t(71) = -3.10, p < .01, and the mutuality of the relationship (M = 4.05, SD = 1.98), t(71) = -3.19, p < .01, than the behavioral norms of the relationship (M = 3.47, SD = 1.56). To identify a suspicious receiver’s interaction goals (RQ2), content analysis was conducted and eleven goals were derived. As presented in Table 1, the results indicated that over 56% of the participants reported that they felt the need to reduce uncertainty as they became suspicious about their partner’s truthfulness. Specifically, message uncertainty reduction (46.6%) appeared to be the most salient goals of a suspicious receiver, indicating that detecting the veracity of partner’s message is a primary goal of a suspicious receiver.
