  • Accuracy in Interpersonal Perception: a Social Relations Analysis
    Psychological Bulletin ~t 1987 by the American PsychologicalAssociation, Inc. 1987, VOI. 102, No. 3, 390-402 0033-2909/87/$00.75 Accuracy in Interpersonal Perception: A Social Relations Analysis David A. Kenny and Linda Albright University of Connecticut For the past 30 years, the study ofaccuracy in person perception has been a neglected topic in social and personality psychology. Research in this area was stopped by a critique of global accuracy scores by Cronbach and Gage. They argued that accuracy should be measured in terms of components. Currently, interest in the topic of accuracy is rekindling. This interest is motivated, in part, by a reaction to the bias literature. We argue that modern accuracy research should (a) focus on measur- ing when and how people are accurate and not on who is accurate, (b) use each person as both judge and target, and (c) partition accuracy into components. The social relations model (Kenny & La Voie, 1984) can be used as a paradigm to meet these requirements. According to this model, there are four types of accuracy, only two of which are generally conceptually interesting. The first, cared individual accuracy, measures the degree to which people's judgments of an individual correspond to how that individual tends to behave across interaction partners. The second, called dyadic accuracy, measures the degree to which people can uniquely judge how a specific individual will behave with them. We present an example that shows high levelsof individual accuracy and lower levelsofdyadic accuracy. The topic of accuracy in interpersonal perception is a funda- War II easily absorbed this tradition.

The contemporary colloquial meaning of this phrase often stems from wonder over some new technological marvel, but we use it here in a wholly literal sense as our starting point. For millions of years, members of our evolving species have gazed at one another and wondered: what are they thinking right now … and what will they think of next? The interest people take in each other’s minds is more than idle curiosity. Two of the defining features of our species are our behavioral flexibility—an enormously wide repertoire of actions with an exquisitely complicated and sometimes non-obvious connection to immediate contexts— and our tendency to live together. As a result, people spend a terrific amount of time in close company with conspecifics doing potentially surprising and bewildering things. Most of us resist giving up on human society and embracing the life of a hermit. Instead, most perceivers proceed quite happily to explain and predict others’ actions by invoking invisible qualities such as beliefs, desires, intentions, and feelings and ascribing them without conclusive proof to others. People cannot read one another’s minds. And yet somehow, many times each day, most people encounter other individuals and “go mental,” as it were, adopting what is sometimes called an intentional stance, treating the individuals around them as if they were guided by unseen and unseeable mental states (Dennett, 1987).

  • Componential Analysis of Interpersonal Perception Data
    Personality and Social Psychology Review Copyright © 2006 by 2006, Vol. 10, No. 4, 282–294 Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Componential Analysis of Interpersonal Perception Data David A. Kenny Tessa V. West Department of Psychology University of Connecticut Thomas E. Malloy Department of Psychology Rhode Island College Linda Albright Department of Psychology Westfield State College We examine the advantages and disadvantages of 2 types of analyses used in interper- sonal perception studies: componential and noncomponential. Componential analy- sis of interpersonal perception data (Kenny, 1994) partitions a judgment into compo- nents and then estimates the variances of and the correlations between these components. A noncomponential analysis uses raw scores to analyze interpersonal perception data. Three different research areas are investigated: consensus of percep- tions across social contexts, reciprocity of attraction, and individual differences in self-enhancement. Finally, we consider criticisms of componential analysis. We con- clude that interpersonal perception data necessarily have components (e.g., per- ceiver, target, measure, and their interactions), and that the researcher needs to de- velop a model that best captures the researcher’s questions. Interpersonal perception, broadly defined as “the searcher might average across measures and targets, study of the beliefs that people have about others” separately for Black and White targets, and compute a (Kenny, 1994, pp. vii), has long been a topic of consid- paired t test to determine if there is a race effect. erable theoretical and empirical interest.

  • Perceiving Others' Personalities

Beer University of Texas at Austin In interpersonal perception, “perceiver effects” are tendencies of perceivers to see other people in a particular way. Two studies of naturalistic interactions examined perceiver effects for personality traits: seeing a typical other as sympathetic or quarrelsome, responsible or careless, and so forth. Several basic questions were addressed. First, are perceiver effects organized as a global evaluative halo, or do perceptions of different traits vary in distinct ways? Second, does assumed similarity (as evidenced by self-perceiver correlations) reflect broad evaluative consistency or trait-specific content? Third, are perceiver effects a manifestation of stable beliefs about the generalized other, or do they form in specific contexts as group-specific stereotypes? Findings indicated that perceiver effects were better described by a differentiated, multidimensional structure with both trait-specific content and a higher order global evaluation factor. Assumed similarity was at least partially attributable to trait-specific content, not just to broad evaluative similarity between self and others. Perceiver effects were correlated with gender and attachment style, but in newly formed groups, they became more stable over time, suggesting that they grew dynamically as group stereotypes. Implications for the interpretation of perceiver effects and for research on personality assessment and psychopathology are discussed. Keywords: social perception, perceiver effects, informant reports, self-perception, Halo effect What a most extraordinary child!” Then she frowned.

Early research in person perception, like most other areas of social-psychological inquiry, relied primarily on verbal reports. Researchers using this approach have devised clever experimental designs to ensure the validity of their conclusions concerning social behavior (see Reis & Judd, 2000).
