The Oxford Handbook of Accurate Personality Judgment
This handbook reviews theory and research on the accuracy of personality judgments. The various chapters explain the major theoretical models that guide research in this area, describe various methodological approaches to evaluating accuracy, and review recent empirical findings. Topics considered include moderators of accuracy including judge, target, trait, and information. Chapters also summarize recent work on self-other asymmetry, the accura…
Effects of escalated exposure to information on accuracy of personality judgment
Seeing and Feeling Your Way to Accurate Personality Judgments: The Moderating Role of Perceiver Empathic Tendencies
Empathy, the practice of taking and emotionally identifying with another’s point of view, is a skill that likely provides context to another’s behavior. Yet systematic research on its relation with accurate personality trait judgment is sparse. This study investigated this relation between one’s empathic response tendencies (perspective taking, empathic concern, fantasy, and personal distress) and the accuracy with which she or he makes judgments…
Accuracy of Judging Affect and Accuracy of Judging Personality: How and When Are They Related
OBJECTIVES: The present research is concerned with the relation between accuracy in judging targets' affective states and accuracy in judging the same targets' personality traits. In two studies, we test the link between these two types of accuracy with the prediction that accuracy of judging traits and of judging states will be associated when fundamental affective qualities are shared. METHOD: In Study 1, affective states and personality traits…
Judging personal values and personality traits: Accuracy and its relation to visibility
Observer judgmental accuracy of personality: Benefits related to being a good (normative) judge
An Examination of Information Quality as a Moderator of Accurate Personality Judgment
Information quality is an important moderator of the accuracy of personality judgment, and this article describes research focusing on how specific kinds of information are related to accuracy. In this study, 228 participants (159 female, 69 male; mean age = 23.43; 86.4% Caucasian) in unacquainted dyads were assigned to discuss thoughts and feelings, discuss behaviors, or engage in behaviors. Interactions lasted 25–30 min, and participants provid…
Predicting relationship quality from self-verification of broad personality traits among romantic couples
The Effects of Judge-Target Gender and Ethnicity Similarity on the Accuracy of Personality Judgments
One factor that may affect the accuracy of personality judgment is the level of similarity between the judge and the target. In the current study, judges observed four targets with different levels of gender and ethnicity (GE) similarity (same gender and ethnicity, only same gender, only same ethnicity, different gender and ethnicity). Judge-target GE similarity was positively related to the accuracy of personality judgment among female judges, b…
The good judge of personality: Characteristics, behaviors, and observer accuracy
Information quantity and quality affect the realistic accuracy of personality judgment
Triads of unacquainted college students interacted in 1 of 5 experimental conditions that manipulated information quantity (amount of information) and information quality (relevance of information to personality), and they then made judgments of each others' personalities. To determine accuracy, the authors compared the ratings of each judge to a broad-based accuracy criterion composed of personality ratings from 3 types of knowledgeable informan…
