In one relevant study generic dilantin 100mg with mastercard medications that cause hyponatremia, [18] Hartshorne, May, Maller, & Shuttleworth (1928) examined the correlations among various behavioral indicators of honesty in children. They also enticed children to behave either honestly or dishonestly in different situations, for instance, by making it easy or difficult for them to steal and cheat. And similar low correlations were found in adults on other measures, [19] including dependency, friendliness, and conscientiousness (Bem & Allen, 1974). One possibility is that the natural tendency for people to see traits in others leads us to believe that people have stable personalities when they really do not. In short, perhaps traits are more in the heads of the people who are doing the judging than they are in the behaviors of the people being observed. The fact that people tend to use human personality traits, such as the Big Five, to judge animals in the same way that they use these traits to judge humans is consistent with this idea (Gosling, [20] 2001). And this idea also fits with research showing that people use their knowledge representation (schemas) about people to help them interpret the world around them and that [21] these schemas color their judgments of others‘ personalities (Fiske & Taylor, 2007). Research has also shown that people tend to see more traits in other people than they do in themselves. First, think about a person you know—your mom, your roommate, or a classmate—and choose which of the three responses on each of the four lines best describes him or her. Intense Calm Depends on the situation [22] Richard Nisbett and his colleagues (Nisbett, Caputo, Legant, & Marecek, 1973) had college students complete this same task for themselves, for their best friend, for their father, and for the (at the time well-known) newscaster Walter Cronkite. These results also suggest that people may perceive more consistent traits in others than they should. Nisbett, Caputo, Legant, and Marecek (1973) found that participants checked off a trait term (such as ―energetic‖ or ―talkative‖) rather than ―depends on the situation‖ less often when asked to describe themselves than when asked to describe others. Imagine that you had completed a personality test and the psychologist administering the measure gave you this description of your personality: You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage.
