“…In Study 3, the pattern of trait accuracy was opposite of the prediction, such that judges who observed targets with high levels of affect congruency (in terms of the similarity between expressed affect and self-reported affect) achieved lower levels of trait accuracy than judges who observed targets with low levels of affect congruence. If the process described in STAM is true, then trait accuracy should have been higher for targets with highly congruent affect because judges would be able to make more accurate judgments about affect due to having more relevant, available, and valid cues (Letzring & Funder, 2021;Osterholz et al, 2021), and this would lead to more accurate judgments of traits. There is some evidence that affect was judged more accurately for high-congruence targets, so it was surprising that traits were not also judged more accurately.…”

“…Testing the State and Trait Accuracy Model: How Accurate Judgments of State Affect Contribute to Accurate Judgments of Personality Traits Good interpersonal decisions are based, in part, on accurate judgments of other people's emotional states and enduring dispositions such as personality traits. The process of interpersonal judgment has been described with models that identify the stages that lead to dispositional inferences (Gilbert, 1998;Trope, 1986Trope, , 1989 and accurate personality trait judgments (Funder, 1995;Letzring & Funder, 2021). The process for making accurate affect judgments likely follows similar stages.…”

“…Recently, the focus has been on judgments of the Big Five traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience/intellect. Much research is based on the realistic accuracy model (RAM; Funder, 1995Funder, , 2012Letzring & Funder, 2021), which describes the process of accurate personality judgment. Funder proposed that accurate judgments occur when cues from the target are relevant to the trait being judged and available to the judge, and the judge detects and correctly utilizes the cues.…”

Psychology has long traditions of measuring the accuracy of judging personality and the accuracy of judging emotional states, but little theoretical progress has been made to connect these two processes that are so important in daily life. The State and Trait Accuracy Model (STAM) was designed to describe how accurate judgments of affective states might influence the accuracy of judgments of personality traits. Four studies (total N = 1484) tested the predictions of STAM that 1) accuracy of judging affect is positively related to accuracy of judging traits of the same target people, and 2) accuracy of affect judgments influences accuracy of trait judgments. Judges observed targets who had been recorded in situations of medium strength so that targets with different levels of traits would respond differently, and then provided judgments of affect and traits. Consistent support was found for the positive relation between affect accuracy, especially for positive emotions, and trait accuracy. Some support was also found for the causal connection from affect accuracy to trait accuracy, although this connection was not always in the expected direction. Results from this type of research enhance understanding of the process of judgments of affect and traits, and could be used to design effective methods for increasing the accuracy of judgments of others.

“…3 3 Note that we focus exclusively on the possible implications of personality accuracy, rather than the predictors or processes that underlie the achievement of accuracy, as the latter is beyond the scope of the current review and has received substantial attention elsewhere (for recent reviews, see Letzring & Funder, 2021; Osterholz et al., 2019). …”

Does accuracy matter? A review of the consequences of accurate personality impressions as a function of context and content

What are the implications of seeing others as they see themselves? That is, does viewing others accurately have consequences, positive or negative, to relationship evaluations (e.g., liking)? To address this, the current article provides a comprehensive review of the personality accuracy literature and discusses related work from the self‐verification and empathic accuracy domains. We specifically explore whether the consequences of accurate perceptions could be influenced by two key categories of moderators: the context of the impression (e.g., high vs. low stakes) and content of the impression (e.g., desirability of traits). Lastly, we discuss future directions to aid our understanding of this question.
