| Research Abstract |
Previous studies have reported that people tend to spontaneously make trait inferences from exposure to others' behaviors without the intention to do so. In the present study, three experiments investigated the occurrence of spontaneous trait inferences (STIs) among Japanese 5th-graders, 7th-graders, and undergraduates using the relearning paradigm. Results suggested that 5th- and 7th-graders as well as undergraduates showed STIs from behavior descriptions that implied negative traits, although they showed few STIs from descriptions that implied positive traits.
