Implicit Theories: Individual Differences in the Likelihood and Meaning of
Dispositional Inference
|
Abstract
In their research, the authors have identified individuals who believe that a particular trait (intelligence, personality, or moral
character) is a fixed disposition (entity theorists) and have contrasted them with those who believe the trait to be a malleable
quality (incrementla theorists). Research shows that an entity theory consistently precidts a) global dispositional inferences
for self and other, even in the face of limited evidence, as well as b) an overreliance on dispositional information in making
other judgments and decisions. An incremental theory, by contrast, predicts inferences that are more specific, conditional,
and provisional. The implicit beliefs seem to represent not only different theories about the nature of traits but also different
mental models about how personality works -- what the units of analysis are and how they enter into causal relations.
Implications for the literature on person perception are discussed.
