ON STABILITY OF THE STRUCTURE OF IMPLICIT PERSONALITY THEORY OVER SITUATIONS

In the present study, the following (hitherto unaddressed) question wa s posed: ''Is the structure of implicit personality theory stable over situations?''. In order to answer this question, correlation coeffici ents were computed between different aspects of two trait-structures o btained under different situational conditions. The results seem to in dicate that the structure of IPT is stable over situations. The result s are discussed in the light of some methodological considerations.
