Abstract
Four studies were conducted to test the main predictions of Abele and Wojciszke’s Dual Perspective Model of Agency and Communion, DPM-AC model. The studies took place in the context of university students, and new data were provided to obtain a better understanding of how impression formation can influence what is expected from peers. Study 1 confirmed that students prefer communal traits in others when they have a unilateral dependency relationship, and agentic traits when they are in mutual dependency relationships. Conversely, study 2 showed that when students are asked what they dislike most, both communal and agentic adjectives were disliked when they come from a unilateral dependency relationship. Lastly, studies 3 and 4 showed that university students are sensitive to being influenced by priming, with communal and agentic adjectives modifying their evaluations on the morality and the efficiency of their peers’ behaviors.
