交流和代理是社会感知和判断的基本维度。先前的研究揭示了交流在社会信息处理中的首要地位。本研究调查了交流和代理的“密度”是否存在类似的不对称性。我们测试公共内容在记忆中是否比代理内容更密集地聚集，也就是说，与其他公共内容更相似，而不是代理内容与其他代理内容相似。三个多维尺度研究解决了这个问题，并提出了与效价的相互作用：虽然负面公共内容比负面代理内容聚集得更密集，但我们发现正面公共内容和正面代理内容之间的密度没有差异。除了增强我们对基本维度及其结构表征的理解之外，这项研究还可能为有关人感知和内隐人格理论的老问题开辟新的视角。
Communion and agency are fundamental dimensions of social perception and judgment. Previous research revealed a primacy of communion in social information processing. The present research investigates whether there is a similar asymmetry in the "density" of communion and agency. We test whether communal content is more densely clustered in memory than agentic content, that is, more similar to other communal content than agentic content is similar to other agentic content. Three multidimensional scaling studies address this question and suggest an interaction with valence: While negative communal content is more densely clustered than negative agentic content, we find no differences in density between positive communal and positive agentic content. In addition to enhancing our understanding of the fundamental dimensions and their structural representation, this research might open a new perspective on old questions regarding person perception and implicit personality theories.
