The authors recorded preprofessional ballet and modern dancers' perceptions of the personality traits of each type of dancer and self-reports of their own standing, to test the accuracy of the group stereotypes. Participants accurately stereotyped ballet dancers as scoring higher than modern dancers on Fear of Negative Evaluation and Personal Need for Structure and accurately viewed the groups as equal on Fitness Esteem. Participants inaccurately stereotyped ballet dancers as lower on Body Esteem; the groups actually scored the same. Sensitivity correlations across traits indicated that dancers were accurate about the relative magnitudes of trait differences in the two types of dancers. A group of nondancers reported stereotypes that were usually in the right direction although of inaccurate magnitude, and nondancers were sensitive to the relative sizes of group differences across traits.
作者记录了专业前芭蕾舞和现代舞舞者对每种类型舞者人格特质的看法以及他们对自身水平的自我报告，以测试群体刻板印象的准确性。参与者准确地将芭蕾舞舞者刻板化为在害怕负面评价和个人对结构的需求方面得分高于现代舞舞者，并准确地认为两组在健康自尊方面相当。参与者错误地将芭蕾舞舞者刻板化为身体自尊较低；实际上两组得分相同。各特质间的敏感性相关性表明，舞者对两种类型舞者特质差异的相对大小判断准确。一组非舞者报告的刻板印象通常方向正确，但大小不准确，且非舞者对各特质上群体差异的相对大小敏感。
