The unpacking effect in evaluative judgments: When the whole is less than the sum of its parts

May 2003 · Journal of Experimental Social Psychology

Any category or event can be described in more or less detail. Although these different descriptions can reflect the same event objectively, they may not reflect the same event subjectively. Research on Support Theory led us to predict that more detailed descriptions would produce more extreme evaluations of categories or events than less detailed descriptions. Four experiments demonstrated this ... [Show full abstract] unpacking effect when people were presented with (Experiments 1 and 4), generated (Experiment 2), or were primed with (Experiment 3) more rather than less detailed descriptions of events. This effect was diminished when the details were less personally relevant (Experiment 4). We discuss several psychological mechanisms, moderators, and extensions of the unpacking effect.

Interpersonal Complementarity and Individual Differences

March 1990 · Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

Interpersonal circumplex theory has predicted complementarity in interpersonal interactions to be expressed in the form of correspondence along the affiliation dimension (e.g., friendly behavior evokes friendliness) and reciprocity along the control dimension (e.g., dominance evokes submission). Prior research has supported the first prediction but not the second. It was hypothesized in this ... [Show full abstract] study that the inconsistent findings were due in part to the neglect of the importance of individual differences (personality) variables. Interpersonal process and individual differences variables were assessed jointly in this study, and it was found that affiliative behavior was due largely to situational (complementarity) effects and control behavior was due largely to individual differences. The results are discussed with respect to an integration of group–interpersonal process and individual differences research. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

Measuring self-discrepancies on the Big Five personality traits with the repertory grid

January 2005

The current paper describes a repertory grid approach for measuring trait-based self-discrepancies. This novel method is strictly empirical and more parsimonious than extant methods for assessing self-discrepancies on per- sonality dimensions. We demonstrated this approach by measuring discrepancies between the actual, ideal, and ought selves on the Big Five personality traits and then assessing ... [Show full abstract] their relationships with measures of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. The results indicated that self-discrepancies on the Big Five personality traits were gen- erally not predictive of psychological well-being. These findings were discussed in the context of previous re- search and contemporary models that relate self-discrepancies to different emotional states.

Perceptions of Ideal and Former Partners’ Personality and Similarity

October 2010 · Interpersona An International Journal on Personal Relationships

The present study aimed to test predictions based on both the ‗similarity-attraction‘ hypothesis and the ‗attraction-similarity‘ hypothesis, by studying perceptions of ideal and former partners. Based on the ‗similarity-attraction‘ hypothesis, we expected individuals to desire ideal partners who are similar to the self in personality. In addition, based on the ‗attraction-similarity hypothesis‘, ... [Show full abstract] we expected individuals to perceive former partners as dissimilar to them in terms of personality. Findings showed that, whereas the ideal partner was seen as similar to and more positive than the self, the former partner was seen as dissimilar to and more negative than the self. In addition, our study showed that individuals did not rate similarity in personality as very important when seeking a mate. Our findings may help understand why so many relationships end in divorce due to mismatches in personality.

The predictive validity of typical and maximal personality measures in self-reports and peer reports

June 2013 · Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society

Recent investigations have suggested that personality measures based on a maximal format are superior to those based on a typical format. The results of the present study suggest that peer reports and self-reports of a subject’s maximal expression of aggression are more reliable predictors of the subject’s laboratory behavior than are their reports of the subject’s typical expression of ...

Predictive validity of the MODE conflict instrument.

February 1987 · Journal of Applied Psychology

Boris Kabanoff

Sixty-three members of an MBA (Master of Business Administration) class completed the MODE instrument, which measures preferences for five conflict modes (competing, collaborating, avoiding, compromising, and accommodating), in addition to a number of personality measures. One year later, people were rated on their observed use of these five conflict modes over the year. Little association was ... [Show full abstract] found between MODE scores and rated conflict behavior, but several of the personality measures were correlated with the ratings.
