In interpersonal perception, "perceiver effects" are tendencies of perceivers to see other people in a particular way. Two studies of naturalistic interactions examined perceiver effects for personality traits: seeing a typical other as sympathetic or quarrelsome, responsible or careless, and so forth. Several basic questions were addressed. First, are perceiver effects organized as a global ev...

Self- and other-ratings on the Big Five and a comprehensive inventory of trait affect were obtained from 74 married couples, 136 dating couples, and 279 friendship dyads. With the exception of Surprise, all scales showed significant self-other agreement in all 3 samples, thereby establishing their convergent validity. Consistent with the trait visibility effect, however, the Big Five consistent...

Abstract The malleable nature of both the idea a city and resilience raises an important question—why measure? Resilience is assumed to be located in physical infrastructure specific places or as quality people there. For disasters, we are often trying conceptualize, measure, render legible structures. But what it that reflected these measurements? If cities organized around something other tha...

Prior studies document significant abnormal stock returns contemporaneous with ratings changes. These findings suggest that ratings changes have information content. It is commonly assumed that stock investors use ratings changes to predict future performance, but in this study we investigate the possibility that investors use ratings changes to reinterpret previously released information (i.e....

where t ≥ t0 ≥ 0, a(t), p(t), q(t) ∈ C ([t0,∞) ;R) and Ψ, k, f ∈ C(R,R). It is also assumed that there are positive constants c, c1, μ and γ such that the following conditions are satisfied: (C1) a(t) > 0 and xf(x) > 0 for all x 6= 0; (C2) 0 < c ≤ Ψ(x) ≤ c1 for all x; (C3) γ > 0 and k(y) ≤ γyk(y) for all y ∈ R; (C4) q(t) ≥ 0, f(x) x ≥ μ > 0 for x 6= 0. We recall that a function x : [t0, t1) → R...

People perceive similarity between their own personality characteristics and the of others. This association has sometimes been labeled assumed similarity, reflecting interpretation that it is a cognitive bias. Another possibility, however, an interpersonal path to perceived similarity: traits are manifested in behavior may elicit similar or dissimilar from others, people form perceptions based...
