Summary
The relationship between expressor sex, cognitive dimension, and personality was investigated. Male and female college students watched videotaped sessions of male and female expressors. Each expressor talked for three minutes about each of three prescribed subject areas. Perceivers then reacted to a semantic differential as they thought the expressors had previously reacted. Absolute difference scores were established for each perceiver-expressor combination indicating level of cognitive perception accuracy. High and low perceivers' personality scores were compared by t test. Four California Psychological Inventory variables were found to be related to accuracy of cognitive perception. Implications were discussed regarding previous findings and the need for further research.
