Abstract

A large body of past work has sought to identify the underlying dimensions that capture our trait knowledge of other people. However, the importance of particular traits in determining our overall impressions of others is not well understood, and different traits may be fundamental for impressions of famous versus unfamiliar people. For instance, we may focus on competence when evaluating a famous person, but on trustworthiness when evaluating a stranger. To examine the structure of overall impressions of famous people and of unfamiliar people, we probed the contributions of 13 different trait judgments to perceived similarity judgments. We found that different sets of traits best predicted perceived similarity between famous people versus between unfamiliar people; however, the relationship between each trait and perceived similarity generalized to some extent from famous people to unfamiliar people, suggesting a degree of overlap in the structure of overall impressions.
利用感知相似性判断探索特质知识的表征结构
过去的大量工作都试图找出捕捉我们对他人特质知识的潜在维度。然而,某些特征在决定我们对他人的整体印象中的重要性还没有得到很好的理解,不同的特征可能是对名人和陌生人印象的基本因素。例如,在评价一个名人时,我们可能会关注能力,但在评价一个陌生人时,我们会关注可信度。为了研究名人和不熟悉的人的整体印象结构,我们探讨了13种不同的特征判断对感知相似性判断的贡献。我们发现不同的特征集合最能预测名人和不熟悉的人之间的感知相似性;然而,从名人到不熟悉的人,每个特征和感知相似性之间的关系在一定程度上是普遍的,这表明在总体印象的结构上有一定程度的重叠。

期刊介绍: An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
