PSYC35H3 Chapter Notes -Johari Window, Interpersonal Perception, Extraversion And Introversion
Document Summary
This article tests a new model for predicting which aspects of personality are best judged by the self and which are best judged by others. (self versus others) Previous research: an asymmetry in the accuracy of personality judgments. According to the self other knowledge asymmetry (soka) model: Some aspects of personality are known better to the self than others and vice versa. the self should be more accurate than others for traits low in observability (e. g. , neuroticism) Others should be more accurate than the self for traits high in evaluativeness (e. g. , intellect). In the present study, 165 participants provided self-ratings and were rated by 4 friends and up to 4 strangers in a round-robin design. Participants then completed a battery of behavioural tests from which criterion measures were derived. Results: consistent with soka model predictions . The self was the best judge of neuroticism-related traits. Friends were the best judges of intellect-related traits.
