Resumen

El objetivo de esta investigación es comprobar que el efecto de la información personal sobre los juicios evaluativos del observador guarda relación con las creencias que éste sostiene. Se analizaron las respuestas de 226 sujetos ante distintos episodios. En ellos se manipulaba la categoría social de los personajes (turistas alemanes o peninsulares) y el carácter favorable o desfavorable de sus conductas. Se comprobó que los sujetos que diferían en su posición respecto a distintas teorías sobre el turismo (crítica, económica y lúdica) valoraban también diferencialmente a los turistas. Asimismo, se detectó una interacción significativa entre la pertenencia grupal del personaje y el carácter favorable o desfavorable de su conducta. Este resultado se interpreta a partir de la teoría de la complejidad-extremidad de Linville (1982).

Abstract

The aim of this work is to examine whether the effect of the personal information in evaluative judgments may change as a function of observers' beliefs. A sample of students was asked to evaluate different characters from several short stories. In these stories, the character's social category (German vs Spanish mainlander tourist visiting Canary Islands) and behavior (favorable vs unfavorable) were manipulated. The results confirmed that students with different theories about tourism (the critical theory, the economic theory, and the leisure theory) also made different judgments about tourists. Likewise, an interaction between personal information and categorical information was detected. This result is interpreted in the light of complexity-extremity theory (Linville, S7 982).
