ABSTRACT

Studies assigning impression goals to achieve in the laboratory typically assume their results translate to social success outside. To test this, 156 participants interacted with a confederate, first with no goal (baseline) and then with a goal (post-goal). Goals were to appear likeable, intelligent, likeable and intelligent, or no goal (Control). Up to 10 friends provided ratings of participants. According to video perceivers, participants achieved their goals on average (relative to Control). Confident-type behaviors mediated Likeability condition assignment (relative to Control) and post-goal likeability, and less smiling/laughing mediated Intelligence condition assignment (relative to Control) and post-goal intelligence. Post-goal perceiver ratings (controlling for baseline) correlated with self-rated and friend-rated social life outcomes, suggesting laboratory impression success translates to outside social success.

摘要

分配印象目标以在实验室中实现的研究通常会假设其结果转化为外界的社会成功。为了测试这一点，有156名参与者与同盟进行了互动，首先是没有目标（基线），然后是目标（目标实现）。目标看起来像是可爱，聪明，可爱和聪明，或者说没有目标（对照）。多达10位朋友提供了参与者的评分。根据视频感知者，参与者平均达到了目标（相对于控制而言）。置信型行为介导的相似性条件分配（相对于控制）和目标实现后的相似度，微笑/笑介导的智力条件分配（相对于控制）和目标实现后的智力较少。进球后感知者的评分（控制基线）与自我评分和朋友评分的社交生活结果相关，
