This article discusses about evaluative amplification of personality impressions in context with social psychology. Studies have found some constraints of evaluative amplification on certain personality domains. Evaluative amplification refers to the tendency for people to measure positive minorities more positively than non-minorities, but at the same time rate negative minorities more negatively than non-minorities. Researches in this field reveal that perceptions of African-Americans and women have become more favorable for a number of significant issues that arise when people take a more content-oriented approach to evaluative amplification. It is informed that amplification takes place on some personality domains only. This suggests that amplification arises from stereotypic beliefs that African-Americans and women have some personality characteristics to a greater or lesser degree than European-Americans men. Moreover, it is stated that race and gender have a central impact on impressions across all personality domains in the manner of a central trait. |
