Self-serving bias in attitude judgements: the use of person versus issue implicated language

Article Abstract:

People have a preference for positive person implication adjectives rather than positive issue implication adjectives to describe their own or similar attitudes. They prefer negative person implication adjectives over negative issue implication adjectives to describe persons with opposing attitudes. Increased judgemental polarization can occur in perceived appropriateness, using evaluatively congruent person implication adjectives than on equivalent valence scales, using issue implication adjectives. People use the global nature of person implication adjectives to reaffirm their own position.
