Abstract
A total of 130 high school psychology students first rated, with knowledge of results, 16 facial photographs for extraversion and observed their partners similarly rate a like number of faces. In a transfer test all subjects then rated the same 32 faces for “usability, ” “intelligence, ” or “character. ” Students, particularly female, showed a greater tendency to give elevated ratings to faces on which their extraversion judgment had been correct (rewarded). The type of transfer test did not make a difference. The results are interpreted as supporting the general proposition that reward can have affective (noncognitive) transfer effects and as raising some interesting questions concerning sex differences.
