Conceptual maps of social knowledge support trait generalization

2026-08-30

Abstract excerpt

<p>People rapidly infer traits from the social behavior of others, supporting predictions about their future behavior. How do people use this learning flexibly in novel social situations in which they have no direct experience with someone? We propose people use maps of social knowledge (representing similarity between traits) to generalize impressions and predict behavior in new domains and contexts—a prediction...
