Abstract
Ss evaluated an unknown other from two opposing descriptions, one recounting commendable and another reprehensible behaviors. The factorial design varied sex of perceiver, sex of other, order of information, and trial (after each description and a week later). Initially positive ratings revised downward by negative information remained stable: initially negative ratings revised upward regressed significantly again within a week. There were no main effects of sex, but both sexes were rated more leniently by same-sex perceivers. Final ratings of opposite sex showed a significantly greater influence of negative information; ratings of own sex showed only a similar trend.
