The literature on attitudes toward objects includes seminal research on threat appraisals indicating that individuals locate an object in a multidimensional threat appraisal space defined by the object's perceived degree of being good or bad, weak or strong, and passive or active. We advance this research in three ways. First, we generalize the information integration on an object with the inclusion of other individuals’ displayed appraisals, and posit the existence of a dynamical system of information integration that generates a network of interpersonal influences on group members’ object appraisals. Second, we show that this influence system entails a set of non-obvious and rarely violated constraints on individuals’ settled appraisals. Third, with data collected in experiments on groups’ appraisals of images of nine animals and two nations, Russia and North Korea, we report empirical findings that support the existence of this system and its predicted constraints on individuals’ object appraisals.

关于物体的态度的文献包括对威胁评估的开创性研究，该研究表明人们将物体定位在多维威胁评估空间中，该空间由物体对物体的好坏，弱或强，被动或主动的感知程度定义。我们以三种方式推进这项研究。首先，我们将对象集成的信息整合到其他人的显示评估中，并假设存在一个动态的信息集成系统，该系统生成了一个对小组成员的对象评估产生人际影响的网络。其次，我们表明，这种影响力系统对个人的定居评估产生了一系列非显而易见且很少违反的约束。第三，利用实验收集的数据对小组对9种动物和2个国家的图像进行评估，
