Resumo(s)
People infer, without any intention or awareness, personality traits about
actors enacting diagnostic behaviors. This phenomenon is known as spontaneous trait inferences (STIs). The activation of a trait is considered to
be a true inference when it results from processing the meaning of the
whole behavioral description. However, a trait can also become activated
due to intra-lexical associations with individual words in the description.
Here, we suggest a method to distinguish the two sources of activation
and explore the influence that word-based priming has on some of the
most popular paradigms used to study STIs. Results show that in the probe
recognition task, word-based priming plays a considerable role and can, in
the absence of an appropriate control, mimic spontaneous trait inference
occurrence. However, in the false recognition task and in the explicit trait
judgment task, the role of this spurious activation is negligible and the real
trait inference can be easily detected.
