Abstract

Recent literature reports that implicit measures have incremental predictive validity in assessment of non-verbal behaviour. On a sample of 99 university students at Belgrade University, Big Five traits were assessed based on non-verbal behaviour during structured interview. From verbal outputs collected in interview and processed by LIWC2007 software, linguistic implicit measures assessing Big Five were extracted. To assess incremental validity of implicit measures in prediction of behaviour, beside linguistic, Implicit Association Test assessing big-five traits, and NEO-PIR (self-reports and mean of ratings of two close-others) were used. Results demonstrate that linguistic measures have incremental validity over other measures in prediction of Neuroticism, Openness, and Conscientiousness inferred from behaviour. Close-others ratings did not contribute to prediction of behaviour beyond self-reports. IAT did not correlate neither with behavioural nor with other predictive measures. Repercussions of these findings on the role of implicit measures in prediction of non-verbal behaviour are discussed.
