Behavioral Experience and Trait Judgnents about the Self

How do people determine whether a trait is self-descriptive? The authors recently proposed and tested a "mixed" model of the trait self-judgment process that asserts that two types of self knowledge abstract trait summaries and specific behavioral exemplars-are used to make trait judgments about the self, and that the relative importance of each is determined by the amount of behavioral experience one has with the trait being judged. The present article addresses a potential limitation in previous tests of this model. Findings offer strong support for a mixed-model interpretation of trait self-judgments.
