Abstract
An orienting hypothesis that the role attributed to ego by a third-party observer of interaction will be affected substantially by the response of alter to ego's behavior is elaborated into more specific ambiguity and interchangeability hypotheses. Hypotheses are generally confirmed on the basis of interpretations of leader-follower and helperhelped dialogues by 688 college students using alternate questionnaire forms in a quasiexperimental design. Hypotheses are tested under three conditions of groupand roledesignation. Possible effects of role-adequacy judgments and variant role standpoints on role attribution are explored in a preliminary fashion.
