  1. Are they really out to get us? Examining Interpersonal Perceptions in an Intergroup Context

  2. Social Perceptions Self-perception: Does Mr. Smoker think he is smart? Other perception: Is Mr. Smoker smart? Metaperception: Does Dr. Nonsmoker think that I am smart? Usually predicted by self perception

  3. Background • Social Perceptions • What forms them? • Are they accurate? • Intergroup perceptions • Social identity differences • Why are intergroup perceptions special? • In-group & out-group bias • Social stigma • Sources in perceptions

  4. Who cares? ? Mr. Smoker’s Metaperception Dr. Nonsmoker’s Perception

  5. Why SRM? • Multiple sources in perceptions • Social context • Perceptions not independent • Sources function at dyad and group level

  6. Multiple Information Levels

  7. Multiple Sources

  8. Social Category, Interpersonal Perception, & Interpersonal Accuracy Santuzzi (2007)

  9. Smoking Stigma • Stigma = negative evaluation • Identified by behavior • Relatively concealable • No history … yet

  10. Research Questions Do smokers think nonsmokers see them differently? Do nonsmokers actually see smokers differently? Are smokers accurate?

  11. Social Category & SRM • Smokers & Nonsmokers • 4-person groups (g = 24) • 3 group compositions • Zero-acquaintance • Self-perception • 9 evaluative adjectives • 5-point response scale • 10-minute interactions • Evaluation & metaperception • Round-robin

  12. Social Interaction Structure In-group Perceptions Out-group Perceptions A B A B C D C D

  13. Data Structure Round-Robin Asymmetric Block

  14. What I expected to see • Perceiver and relationship variance • Evaluative ratings • Zero-acquaintance • In-group v. out-group differences • Biased perceptions & metaperceptions • Stigma is different

  15. Smoking Attitudes

  16. Variance Partitioning: In-group Perceptions

  17. Variance Partitioning: Out-group Perceptions

  18. Meta-Accuracy: Sans SRM TARGET EVALUATION PERCEIVER METAPERCETION

  19. Meta-Accuracy Correlations Do Smokers know how Nonsmokers actually view them? a = perceiver effect b = target effect g = relationship effect e = error

  20. Meta-Accuracy Correlations: Generalized Accuracy TARGET EVALUATION PERCEIVER METAPERCEPTION

  21. Conclusions • Source patterns • Individual & relationship sources in evaluation • Differences in metaperception (smokers) • Bias or Accuracy? • Smokers less accurate ONLY in mixed groups • Why different pattern? • Identity differences motivate? • Concern directed toward me? • Did self-perception do it?

  22. Design Considerations • Population base rate • Fewer (self-identified) smokers • Order of interactions • Shared v. unshared contexts • Inferences from mixed contexts • Compare to homogeneous situations
