Previous research on the psychology of confidence suggests that the more confident a rater is in his judgment the more accurate is his rating. The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible differences among raters in their confidence in competency ratings which they had provided. Results indicated significant differences due to the rater's interpersonal role with the ratee and the particular aspect of competence rated. Greater simple structure of competence ratings when adjusted for rater confidence is also shown. Rater confidence is discussed as an index for rater selection and as a moderator variable for competence ratings.
先前关于自信心理学的研究表明，评估者对自己的判断越自信，其评分就越准确。本研究的目的是调查评估者在他们给出的能力评分中的自信程度可能存在的差异。结果表明，由于评估者与被评估者的人际关系角色以及所评估能力的特定方面，存在显著差异。调整评估者信心后，能力评分的简单结构也更明显。评估者信心被作为评估者选择的一个指标以及能力评分的一个调节变量进行了讨论。
