| Summary: | This article reviews controversies that have surrounded research on
interpersonal accuracy for the last 50 years by providing and justifying a
probabilistic conception of accuracy and by addressing the following issues:
W hether accuracy can be distinguished from logical coherence; whether
accuracy research provides insight into cognitive processes; why accuracy
in perception of a behavior or trait must be distinguished from accuracy in
explanations for that behavior or trait; how to distinguish self-fulfilling prophecy
from accuracy; why distinguishing among several levels of analysis is
crucial with respect to evaluating the accuracy of social stereotypes; whether
accuracy research helps create or alleviate social problems; how accuracy
can sometimes lead to discrimination; similarities and differences between
establishing scientific construct validity and the accuracy of lay social beliefs;
and the nature of some of the contributions to understanding social perception
provided by componential and noncomponential approaches to the
study of accuracy. |
