Asymmetric self-other similarity judgments depend on priming of self-knowledge
Article Abstract:
The role of self-knowledge on self-other similarity judgment was determined. Priming manipulation and question forms to determine characteristics of self and others were utilized. The subjects were divided into three groups namely; self-primed, other-primed and the control. Results showed that priming of self-knowledge promote asymmetric self-other similarity judgment. Subjects see others as similar to self rather than view themselves as similar to others. No such asymmetry was found on the control and other-primed groups. The findings of were correlated with past researches.
