The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in person perception due to changes in interpersonal closeness. Immediately after beginning the first semester, four female university freshmen belonging to a student club were asked: 1) to tell what they thought of or knew about three fellow club members (stimulus persons; SPs); and 2) to indicate liking for SPs, and rate them in terms of factors related to interpersonal attraction. The interviews, with the same interviewees and SPs, were repeated seven more times during the following six months. Content of their statements for each SP was analyzed, and results indicated: 1) Liking for SPs was positively correlated with the frequency of statements concerning SPs' disposition, but negatively with that of SP's objective information; 2) the more distant the subject-SP relationship became after initial closeness, the more the frequency of statements about SP's objective information, and the less that of SPs' disposition. It was suggested that self-other relationship had an effect on person perception.
本研究的目的是调查由于人际亲密度变化而导致的人物认知变化。在第一学期刚开始后，属于一个学生社团的四名大学一年级女生被要求：1）说出她们对三名社团成员同伴（刺激人物；SPs）的看法或了解；2）表明对SPs的喜欢程度，并根据与人际吸引相关的因素对她们进行评分。在接下来的六个月里，对相同的受访者和SPs又进行了七次访谈。分析了她们对每个SP的陈述内容，结果表明：1）对SPs的喜欢程度与关于SPs性格的陈述频率呈正相关，但与SPs客观信息的陈述频率呈负相关；2）在最初的亲密关系之后，主体与SP的关系越疏远，关于SP客观信息的陈述频率越高，而关于SPs性格的陈述频率越低。研究表明自我与他人的关系对人物认知有影响。
