This research examined spatial perspective taking and its effect on the perception of other people’s emotionality. Adopting the perspective of another person is considered an important factor enhancing interpersonal and intergroup relations. However, it requires conscious effort and reflection. Therefore, the aim was to determine whether rotating spatial perspective places demands on cognitive resources, thereby affecting automatic perception of other people’s emotionality. Inspired by previous research, the authors developed the software used in this study. Participants were prompted to move objects on a bookshelf according to the directions of a person standing either on the opposite side of the bookshelf or next to them, on the same side. Using an infra-humanization scale, participants rated their own emotions and those of the person whose perspective they assumed. The results confirmed the hypotheses. Firstly, the need for perspective rotation resulted in decreased performance of the task (lower accuracy and longer time to complete). Secondly, perspective rotation conditions amplified the effect of infra-humanization, i.e., the partner was seen by the participant as less capable of experiencing uniquely human emotions. We can infer that the change of spatial perspective consumed cognitive resources, thereby promoting a simplified and automatic mode of perception.

In this answer to comments on our target paper we clarify and specify our model of social actions as construed from the actor (agent) vs. observer (recipient) perspective. Specifically, we propose that in the actor perspective agentic content is accessed automatically while communal content is process in a controlled, effortful way. In the observer perspective, communal content is processed automatically while agentic content in a controlled way. We also attempt to clarify several statements of the original model and present new data providing support for this model.

We present a model of social perception based on three assumptions: (1) Most actions may be viewed from divergent perspectives of agent vs. recipient, (2) People perceive themselves and others in a way that maximizes their interests and this is done differently in each of the two perspectives, (3) There are two broad dimensions of content in person perception - agency and communion. These assumptions allowed the formulation of 12 hypotheses on how perspective influences: (a) the concern with agentic vs. communal contents in person perception and attitude formation, (b) relations between perceived interests and agentic vs. communal contents, and (c) relations between using agentic vs. communal contents and behavioral pursuit of various interests. Empirical support for these hypotheses is discussed.

Personality perception accuracy after instant messenger communication and relation of content of messages to self- and stranger-perceived personality were examined in two cultures. Czech and Chinese subjects were paired into couples with a stranger and spoke with him or her through Windows Live Messenger (in the Czech Republic) or QQ (in China). After 30-40 minutes conversation they filled out Big Five questionnaires about their partner’s personality and about themselves. In the Czech study, there was a correlation 0.39 between self-perceived and partner perceived extraversion. In the Chinese study, correlations between self-perception and partner-perception of a subject’s personality were 0.49 for neuroticism, 0.38 for extraversion, 0.35 for openness to experience, and 0.28 for agreeableness. Possible reasons for Chinese higher personality perception accuracy can be higher proneness to “dialectical thinking” or higher experience with using online communication for social sharing and perceiving.

The aim of the present article is to review research concerning morality and competence as two dimen¬sions of social perception. Starting from explanation why these dimensions play such a big role in process of person perception, I will try to explain differences in patterns of inferences about traits of morality and competence by referring to actor and observer perspectives. Next I will present research that demonstrates determinants and conseąuences of perceiving the world through the perspective of morality. The closing part of present work contains description of research, in which morality and competence were shown as dimensions of group perception.
