在本研究中,我们探讨了目标显著性对个体和群体中错觉相关形成的影响。研究发现,提高群体目标的显著性可以增加该显著群体与一种罕见(因此是独特的)行为类别之间的感知关联程度。另一方面,提高个体目标的显著性,增加了显著个体被感知为采用频繁行为类别的程度。有人建议,这些研究结果反映了定性差异的方式,其中有关群体和个人的信息最初编码的有组织的。具体而言,它建议,个人的印象是“在线”,并虚幻的个人相关性反映了基于印象的判断。另一方面,关于群体的错觉相关性被提出来反映基于记忆的判断。初始处理的性质很可能决定了这种关系。
In the present study, we investigated the impact of target salience on the formation of illusory correlations in both individuals and groups. Heightening the salience of a group target was found to increase the degree of perceived association between that salient group and an infrequent (and thus distinctive) category of behaviors. Heightening the salience of an individual target, on the other hand, increased the degree to which the salient individual was perceived as adopting a frequent category of behaviors. It is suggested that these findings reflect qualitative differences in the ways in which information about groups and individuals is initially encoded an organized. Specifically, it is proposed that impressions of individuals are made “on line” and that illusory correlations about individuals reflect impression-based judgments. Illusory correlations about groups, on the other hand, are proposed to reflect memory-based judgments. The nature of the initial processing is likely to determine the relatio...
