An investigation of dentists' perceptions of their patients found that they were markedly similar to each other and to the perceptions other professional helpers have of their patients. It is suggested that this concurrence of perceptions reflects similar concerns about patients, in particular likeability, manageability, and prognosis. It has been established that several everyday person-perception processes work against forming favourable perception of patients and that this reduces the helpers' motivation to help them. In common with other professional helpers, these person-perception processes were evident in the perceptions of the dentists in this sample.
一项关于牙医对其患者看法的调查发现，他们彼此之间的看法以及与其他专业辅助人员对其患者的看法显著相似。有人认为，这种看法上的一致性反映了对患者类似的担忧，尤其是患者的可爱程度、可控性和预后情况。已经确定，一些日常的人际认知过程不利于形成对患者的良好看法，这降低了辅助人员帮助他们的积极性。与其他专业辅助人员一样，这些人际认知过程在该样本中牙医的看法中也很明显。
