Behavioral Confirmation in Social Interaction: From Social Perception to Social Reality
Snyder, Mark; Swann, William B., Jr.
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 14, 2, 148-62, Mar 78
Of what importance are our impressions and perceptions of others? This empirical investigation suggests that social perceptions can and do exert powerful channeling effects on subsequent social interaction such that actual behavioral confirmation of these beliefs is produced. Outlines a theoretical account of the processes believed to underlie behavioral confirmation. (Author/RK)
