The influence of different target stimuli on impression order effects was tested. Sixty Ss evaluated bivalent sets of personality trait adjectives which purportedly described a hypothetical stranger, the E, or the Ss themselves. Under unwarned recall conditions, variations in the object of description significantly influenced impression order effects (p < .01). It was suggested that this effect may have been a function of attention decrements and implicit evaluations associated with various levels of personal relevance of the impression formation task. Analyses of adjective recall supported the verbal memory hypothesis of impression formation for only the LH sets in the forewarned recall condition. Recall analyses, however, suggested the importance of recall measurement criteria used in tests of the verbal memory hypothesis.
测试了不同目标刺激对印象顺序效应的影响。60 名被试评价了两套据称描述一个假设的陌生人 E 或被试自己的双价人格特质形容词。在无警告回忆条件下，描述对象的变化显著影响了印象顺序效应（p<.01）。有人认为，这种效应可能是由于与印象形成任务的不同个人相关性水平相关的注意力下降和内隐评价所致。形容词回忆分析仅支持在有警告的回忆条件下 LH 组的印象形成的言语记忆假设。然而，回忆分析表明，在言语记忆假设测试中使用的回忆测量标准的重要性。
