The ability to accurately assess people in one's social arena is important in determining the success of such interactions. There are several factors that act as moderators of accuracy, including properties of the person being judged, the person making the judgment, the trait being judged, and the type of information that is displayed in any given social situation. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the effect of information quantity and quality on the accuracy of personality judgments. Specifically, it examines the effect of situational context on both the quantity and quality of information that becomes available for personality judgment. This study gathered information about the personality of 180 undergraduate participants and from 360 well-acquainted informants. This information included several types of data including: personality judgments of the target participants, gathered from participants themselves, from informants recruited by the target participants from their social arena, and from other participants in the study; an in depth life history interview of the target participants, from which interviewers made ratings of the participants.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This information included several types of data including: personality judgments of the target participants, gathered from participants themselves, from informants recruited by the target participants from their social arena, and from other participants in the study; an in depth life history interview of the target participants, from which interviewers made ratings of the participants.
520 $a It was found that individuals who interacted for longer periods of time (a larger quantity of information) were more accurate in their personality judgments than those who interacted for shorter periods of time. It was also found that information quality was related to accuracy when ratings were made with the California Q-Sort. Specifically, people who were asked to get to know one another were more accurate than people who interacted in an unstructured situation or completed a series of trivia questions together. Additionally judges tended agree more on items characteristic of extraversion, agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness, regardless of the condition that they were in. Conscientiousness was agreed on more by those who interacted in the Trivia condition than in the other conditions.
