Conceptual maps of social knowledge support trait generalization

2025-03-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>People robustly and rapidly infer traits from the social behavior of others. These trait impressions support predictions about future behavior. How do people use this learning flexibly in novel social situations? We propose people use maps of social knowledge (representing similarity between traits) to generalize trait impressions and predict behavior in new domains and contexts, a prediction we test across thr...
