基于人际相似性是社会距离的一种形式的假设，目前的研究考察了相似性影响他人行为的表现和判断的方式。在解释水平方法的基础上，我们假设更高的相似性水平会增加对他人行为判断中信息的从属和次要特征的相对权重。四个实验的结果表明，与对不同目标的相应判断相比，暴露于相似目标人的参与者在相对较低的意义相关的条件下识别该人的行为，而不是与上级目的相关的条件（实验1），认为他或她的行为更多地由可行性决定，而不是由可取性决定（实验3）。并且在判断目标的决策（实验2）和绩效（实验4）时给予次要方面更多的权重。讨论了人际相似性研究的意义，以及一般的社会距离。(C) 2008爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Building on the assumption that interpersonal similarity is a form of social distance, the current research examines the manner in which similarity influences the representation and judgment of others' actions. On the basis of a construal level approach, we hypothesized that greater levels of similarity would increase the relative weight of subordinate and secondary features of information in judgments of others' actions. The results of four experiments showed that compared to corresponding judgments of a dissimilar target, participants exposed to a similar target person identified that person's actions in relatively more subordinate means-related rather than superordinate ends-related terms (Experiment I), perceived his or her actions to be determined more by feasibility and less by desirability concerns (Experiment 3), and gave more weight to secondary aspects in judgments of the target's decisions (Experiment 2) and performance (Experiment 4). Implications for the study of interpersonal similarity, as well as social distance in general, are discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
