People vary widely in their expressive accuracy, the tendency to be viewed in line with one's unique traits. It is unclear, however, whether expressive accuracy is a stable individual difference that transcends social contexts or a more piecemeal, context‐specific characteristic. The current research therefore examined the consistency of expressive accuracy across three social contexts: face‐to‐face initial interactions, close relationships, and social media. There was clear evidence for cross‐contextual consistency, such that expressive accuracy in face‐to‐face first impressions, based on brief round‐robin interactions, was associated with expressive accuracy with close others (Sample 1; N_targets = 514; N_dyads = 1656) and based on Facebook profiles (Samples 2 and 3: N_targets = 126–132; N_dyads = 1170–1476). This was found on average across traits and for high and low observability traits. Further, unique predictors emerged for different types of expressive accuracy, with psychological adjustment and conscientiousness most consistently linked to overall expressive accuracy, extraversion most consistently linked to high observability expressive accuracy, and neuroticism most consistently linked to low observability expressive accuracy. In sum, expressive accuracy appears to emerge robustly and consistently across contexts, although its predictors may differ depending on the type of trait. © 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology

面对面，在线和近距离：表达准确性的跨上下文一致性

人们的表达准确度差异很大，人们倾向于根据自己的独特特征对其进行观察。然而，尚不清楚表达的准确性是超越社会情境的稳定的个体差异还是更零碎的，因情而异的特征。因此，当前的研究检查了三种社交环境中表达准确性的一致性：面对面的初始互动，亲密关系和社交媒体。有明确的证据表明跨上下文一致性，例如，基于短暂的循环交互作用，面对面第一印象中的表达准确性与其他人的表达准确性相关（样本1；N个_目标 = 514；N个对_偶 = 1656）并基于Facebook资料（样本2和3：N个_目标 = 126–132；N个_二元组 = 1170–1476）。在所有性状以及高和低可观察性性状中均发现了这一点。此外，针对不同类型的表达准确性出现了独特的预测变量，其中心理调节和尽责程度与总体表达准确性最一致，与外向性最一致与高可观察性表达准确性有关，而神经质最经常与低可观察性表达准确性有关。总而言之，表达准确性似乎在各种情况下都稳健而一致地出现，尽管其预测指标可能会因性状类型而异。©2020欧洲人格心理学协会
