In our comments we discuss three aspects of the conception that proposes to distinguish the agent and recipient perspectives in social perception processes. First, we note that the relations between agent and recipient might often be of a more indirect than direct nature. Second, we underline the importance of differentiating intentional and automatic processes, especially from the agent perspective. Third, we suggest that new theoretical developments within classical research on actor-observer differences seem to be sufficient to explain the bulk of the reported research findings and, thus, the additional distinction between agent and recipient perspectives might be somewhat misleading.

This article focuses on the role of need for cognitive closure in the process of mental model creation about social relations (i.e. social cliques). We assumed that high (vs. low) need for closure participants tend to rely on background category information when forming social cliques. We predicted that this tendency to employ categorical information as a mental aid, used in order to form social cliques, would be efficient in simple task structures (where category information overlaps with the mental model structure) but would lead to increased error rates in complex task structures (where category information is inconsistent with the model structure). The results confirmed our predictions, showing especially strong effects for the decisiveness component of need for closure. The importance of individual differences in need for closure and decisiveness in social reasoning is discussed.
