Abstract

Dominant models of impression formation focus on two fundamental dimensions: a horizontal dimension of warmth/communion/trustworthiness and a vertical dimension of competence/agency/dominance. However, these models have typically been studied using theory-driven methods and stimuli of restricted complexity. We used a data-driven approach and naturalistic stimuli to explore the latent dimensions underlying >300,000 unconstrained linguistic descriptions of 1,000 Facebook profile pictures from 2,188 participants. Via traditional (Exploratory Factor Analysis) and modern (natural language dictionaries, semantic sentence embeddings) approaches, we observed impressions to form with regard to the horizontal and vertical dimensions and their respective facets of sociability/morality and ability/assertiveness, plus the key demographic variables of gender, age, and race. However, we also observed impressions to form along numerous further dimensions, including adventurousness, conservatism, fitness, non-conformity, and stylishness. These results serve to emphasize the importance of high-dimensional models of impression formation and help to clarify the content dimensions underlying unconstrained descriptions of individuals.

Facebook 资料图片的无约束描述支持印象形成的高维模型。
印象形成的主要模型集中在两个基本维度上:一个是温暖/融洽/值得信赖的横向维度,另一个是能力/代理/主导的纵向维度。然而,这些模型通常是使用理论驱动的方法和复杂性有限的刺激物进行研究的。我们采用了数据驱动法和自然刺激法,对来自 2188 名参与者的 1000 张 Facebook 个人资料图片进行了超过 300,000 次无约束语言描述,从而探索了这些图片背后的潜在维度。通过传统(探索性因子分析)和现代(自然语言词典、语义句子嵌入)方法,我们观察到了横向和纵向维度及其各自的社交/道德和能力/主动性方面,以及性别、年龄和种族等关键人口统计学变量所形成的印象。然而,我们还观察到,在许多其他维度上也会形成印象,包括冒险、保守、健壮、不拘小节和时尚。这些结果强调了印象形成的高维模型的重要性,并有助于澄清对个人进行无约束描述时所依据的内容维度。
