Interaksi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sering terjadi secara implisit dalam bentuk pertukaran isyarat yang dapat dipahami dengan melakukan mindreading. Penelitian eksperimental ini dilakukan untuk melihat interaksi antara “gender target” dan “perceived similarity” dengan kecepatan dan ketepatan “mindreading” laki-laki dewasa muda. Partisipan penelitian ini berjumlah 70 laki-laki berusia 18-25 tahun. Penelitian dilaksanakan secara luring menggunakan aplikasi MindProbe yang berisi alat ukur Strange Stories Task dan Perceived Similarity Scale. Pengujian statistik menggunakan mixed-model ANOVA menemukan bahwa terdapat pengaruh dari “gender target” terhadap kecepatan dan ketepatan “mindreading” namun tidak ditemukan pengaruh dari “perceived similarity” terhadap kecepatan dan ketepatan “mindreading”. Selanjutnya, analisis factorial ANOVA menemukan bahwa tidak terdapat interaksi antara ketiga variabel tersebut.

Interactions in everyday life often occur implicitly in the form of an exchange of signals that can be understood by mindreading. This experimental research was conducted to find the interaction between "target gender" and "perceived similarity" with the speed and accuracy of "mindreading" in young adult men. Total of 70 men aged 18-25 years participated in this study. This study was carried out in an offline setting using the MindProbe application which contains the Strange Stories Task and Perceived Similarity Scale measuring instruments. Statistical testing using mixed-model ANOVA found that there was an influence of "target gender" on the speed and accuracy of "mindreading" but there was no influence of "perceived similarity" on the speed and accuracy of "mindreading". Furthermore, factorial ANOVA analysis found that there was no interaction between the three variables.
