The authors investigated the evaluative consequences of sequential performance judgments. Recent social comparison research has suggested that performance judgments may be influenced by judgments about a preceding performance. Specifically, performance judgments may be assimilated to judgments of the preceding performance if judges focus on similarities between the two. If judges focus on differences, however, contrast may ensue. The authors examined sequential performance judgments, using data gathered from the 2004 Olympic Games as well as data gathered in the laboratory with students or experienced gymnastics judges as participants. Sequential performance judgments were influenced by previously judged performances, and the direction of this influence depended on the degree of perceived similarity between the successive performances.
作者们研究了连续绩效判断的评价结果。近期的社会比较研究表明，绩效判断可能会受到对先前绩效判断的影响。具体而言，如果评判者关注两者之间的相似性，绩效判断可能会被同化为对先前绩效的判断。然而，如果评判者关注差异，就可能会产生对比效应。作者们通过收集2004年奥运会的数据以及在实验室中以学生或经验丰富的体操裁判为参与者收集的数据，对连续绩效判断进行了研究。连续绩效判断受到先前评判绩效的影响，且这种影响的方向取决于连续绩效之间感知到的相似程度。
