人格心理学早就认识到情境对决定行为的重要性，但很少有研究直接考察行为的跨情境一致性与情境相似性的关系。在两项研究中，参与者（n = 138和116）参与了几个二元互动，他们的行为是从录像记录编码。行为的一致性进行了检查，在单一的行为和以人为中心的行为配置文件。在解决主观情境相似性问题时，研究1表明，认为两种情境相对相似的参与者在不同情境下的行为相对一致。解决客观的情况相似性，定义为情况共享共同元素的程度，研究2表明，参与者在相似的情况下比在不同的情况下更行为一致。此外，研究2发现，相对自动和冲动的行为比更受控制和认知介导的行为更一致。无论情境相似性或行为一致性是如何操作的，更大的相似性与更大的一致性有关。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Personality psychology has long recognized the importance of situations for determining behavior, but little research has directly examined the degree to which the cross-situational consistency of behavior is associated with the similarity of situations. In two studies, participants (n = 138 & 116) engaged in several dyadic interactions, and their behavior was coded from a videotaped record. Behavioral consistency was examined in terms of single behaviors and person-centered behavioral profiles. Addressing subjective situational similarity, Study 1 showed that participants who rated the two situations as relatively similar were relatively consistent in their behavior across the situations. Addressing objective situational similarity, defined as the degree to which situations shared common elements, Study 2 showed that participants were more behaviorally consistent across similar pairs of situations than across dissimilar pairs. In addition, Study 2 found that behaviors that are relatively automatic and impulsive were more consistent than behaviors that are more controlled and cognitively mediated. Regardless of how situational similarity or behavioral consistency were operationalized, greater similarity was related to greater consistency. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
