我们能相信自己对第一印象的看法吗？当前的文章通过评估“具体的”元准确性来解决这个问题，或者人们检测他人如何看待他们的特征模式的能力，以及人们对他们的元准确性水平的认识。两个样本的结果表明，人们确实达到了具体的元准确性（即，他们知道新认识的人认为哪些特征是他们的特别特征），人们对自己给人的第一印象的信念是很好的校准的（即，对自己元知觉的准确性相对更有信心的人实际上更准确）。本文还讨论了具体元知觉准确性的含义和元知觉准确性的校准，以及未来研究如何提高我们对元知觉形成过程和元知觉准确性人际影响的理解。
Can we trust our beliefs about the first impressions we make? The current article addresses this question by assessing "idiographic" meta-accuracy, or people's ability to detect how another person views their characteristic pattern of traits, and people's awareness of their level of meta-accuracy. Results from two samples suggest that people do achieve idiographic meta-accuracy (i.e., they know which traits a new acquaintance perceives as particularly characteristic of them) and that people's beliefs about the first impression they make are well calibrated (i.e., the people who are relatively more confident in the accuracy of their metaperceptions are in fact more accurate). Implications of idiographic meta-accuracy and the calibration of meta-accuracy are discussed, as are the ways in which future research can improve our understanding of the process of metaperception formation and the interpersonal consequences of meta-accuracy.
