description Expectation states theory is proposed as an explanation of the "risky shift." It is argued that this theory integrates two hitherto contradictory explanations which are the normative and informational effects on judgment. Similarly, the theory accounts for conservative shifts and shifts unrelated to the risky-conservative dimension. The theory is tested using a combination of techniques used in the expectation states and the "risky shift" literature. Support is found for the hypothesis that an interaction of partner disagreement, status differences and task orientation leads to significant shifts in individuals. The processes underlying expectation states theory are also supported using a post-experimental questionnaire. /// On propose ici la théorie des états d'anticipation comme une explication du "changement problématique." On défend la thèse que cette théorie intègre deux explications considérées jusqu'ici comme contradictoires que sont les effets normatifs et informatifs sur le jugement. De même la théorie tient compte des changements d'ordre conservateur et des changements non-reliés à la dimension problématique/conservation. La théorie est mise à l'épreuve en utilisant une combinaison de techniques déjà essayées dans la littérature des états d'anticipation et du "changement problématique." On y trouve aussi un certain support pour l'hypothèse qu'une action réciproque entre les différences de partenaires, les différences de statut et l'orientation des tâches amènent des changements appréciables parmi les individus. Les processus sous-jacents à la théorie des états d'anticipation recoivent aussi un appui grâce à l'utilisation d'un questionnaire post-expérimental.
