dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the effects of facial stereotypes on subjects' judgments of a target person using Schwarz and Bless's inclusion/exclusion model (1992). This model states that the inclusion of a contextual stimulus in a target category results in assimilation toward the contextual stimulus and that the exclusion of a stimulus from a target category yields contrast away from the contextual stimulus. Subjects were presented with three ambiguous behavior descriptions each paired with either a baby, mature, or neutral-faced target female. Subjects then were asked to judge the target female along certain personality-trait dimensions relevant to the facial stereotypes. The hypothesis for this study was that by including the female target's behavior as part of her personality, assimilation to the facial stereotype would occur, and that by excluding the target's behavior from her personality, contrast against the facial stereotype would result. Our results did not show significant effects that supported this hypothesis; however we did find significant main effects for face type and story condition.
