Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the accuracy obtained in an interpersonal prediction task is affected by selecting systematically the objects of prediction. 9 social objects were selected, varying on the dimensions of ego control and self-favorableness. 69 Ss viewed sound movies of the behavior of each object in a stress interview and tried to predict his self Q sort of 54 adjectives. The Ss were classified also on the dimension of ego control. Significant variance was found to be associated with ego control of the Ss, and with both ego control and self-favorableness of the social objects. 17 references.Keywords
