“…Finally, we cannot preclude that the more consistent relations between momentary self-esteem and self-reported perceptions (i.e., self- and metaperceptions) compared to its link with other-perceptions of social inclusion may reflect a potential method effect, as self-esteem was also measured by self-report across both study parts. Future research could consider the use of other-reports of self-esteem (Hirschmüller et al, 2018) as an extension to avoid potential method biases arising from the exclusive use of self-reports (Podsakoff et al, 2003). At the same time, we would like to highlight that self-reported self-esteem in particular should be considered the most appropriate approach to gain insight into self-perceived levels of self-evaluation.…”

The role of interpersonal perceptions of social inclusion and personality in momentary self-esteem and self-esteem reactivity

Empirical research has demonstrated that self-esteem is significantly shaped by social interactions and perceptions of social inclusion; however, less is known about individual differences in the reactivity of momentary self-esteem to social inclusion. Zooming into social interactions, we used data from two adolescent samples (overall N > 200) in two different social settings (i.e., a standardized laboratory interaction vs. real-life interactions) to examine the associations between different interpersonal perceptions (i.e., self-, other-, and metaperceptions) of social inclusion and momentary self-esteem. Further, we investigated how these associations are shaped by an individual’s personality (i.e., neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness). Multilevel modeling revealed differential associations between interpersonal perceptions and momentary self-esteem, with perceptions formed by the individual (i.e., self- and metaperceptions) more consistently related to momentary self-esteem than perceptions of others. Personality did not emerge as a consistent moderator of these associations but displayed differential effects: Neuroticism dampened self-esteem reactivity in group interactions with unfamiliar interaction partners, but not in dyadic interactions with familiar others. In light of these findings, we discuss the role of the social context and the interaction partner for the dynamic interplay of interpersonal perceptions and the functionality of personality traits.

“…The relevant concepts from the lens model are criterion (continuing with this example: the targets’ actual extraversion, as operationally defined), cue validities (how targets’ actual extraversion, as operationally defined, is correlated with measured aspects of the targets’ appearance or behavior—together called cues), and cue utilization (how perceivers’ ratings of the targets’ extraversion correlate with the measured cues). Published lens models address a wide range of constructs, including personality traits, psychopathy, emotions, self‐esteem, academic achievement, status, pain experience, and rapport (e.g., Bernieri, Gillis, Davis, & Grahe, ; Gosling, Ko, Mannarelli, & Morris, ; Hirschmüller, Schmukle, Krause, Back, & Egloff, in press; Laukka et al, ; Ruben & Hall, ; Sahoo & Sahoo, ; Schmid Mast & Hall, ; ten Brinke et al, ).…”

Studying Stereotype Accuracy from an Integrative Social‐Personality Perspective

This article proposes an integrative framework for understanding the accuracy and inaccuracy of stereotypes. Specifically, we highlight research issues and traditions from social and personality psychology that do not often intersect, but which can be mutually informative. Within this framework, the social psychologist's interest in the accuracy of group stereotypes is conceptually much like a personality psychologist's interest in the accuracy with which perceivers can identify types of individuals, for example extraverts. Both fields make use, implicitly or explicitly, of personal attributes and behaviors (cues) in assessing accuracy of beliefs about group or individual traits. By using Brunswik's lens model perspective in combination with concepts from signal detection theory, judgments of stereotypes can be discovered to be accurate or inaccurate depending on how perceivers judge or use the cues. In drawing on research traditions and theoretical frameworks from both social and personality psychology, researchers can go beyond an all-or-nothing stance regarding stereotype accuracy to achieve a more nuanced understanding of when, how, and to what extent stereotypes are accurate.

“…Several studies have indicated that unfamiliar laypeople are able to accurately judge others’ personality traits based on subtle cues, such as a person’s natural stream-of-consciousness essays (Holleran and Mehl, 2008), textual information explicitly covering major life domains (Borkenau et al, 2016), photos of facial expressions (Sutherland et al, 2015; Walker and Vetter, 2016), video clips of someone introducing themselves (Hirschmüller et al, 2017), and other incidental cues such as photographs of someone’s shoes (Gillath et al, 2012), information on their music preferences (Rentfrow and Gosling, 2006), and images of their bedrooms and offices (Gosling et al, 2002).…”

Status updates on social network sites (SNSs) as a new medium for people to express “what is on your mind” on the Internet can provide much information. In the current study, we statistically analyzed survey data to examine whether individuals utilize impression management in their status updates on SNSs, whether their attempts at impression management are successful, and whether users who post these status updates can infer how others view them based on these contents, whether the status updates posted on SNSs reflect information about users’ Big Five personality traits. The findings suggested that the meta-perception and perceivers’ judgments of all five traits are quite accurate, despite users’ aim to create different impression of most traits in their status updates. This study offers new empirical evidence about the model of interpersonal perception on SNSs and shows that status updates on SNSs can provide considerable information about their authors.

Accuracy of Self‐Esteem Judgments at Zero Acquaintance

Abstract: Our findings show that strangers can quite accurately detect individuals' self-reported and informant-reported self-esteem when targets are observed in a public self-presentational situation.
