✦ Synopsis
The hypothesis was investigated that when trait inferences rejer to abstract behaviour labels (i.e. 'conceited') they act as a general interpretation frame and lead to assimilation in subsequent judgments of' an ambiguous target, whereas when they refer to specific actor-trait links (i.e. 'Peter is conceited') the activated information is likely to be used as a scale anchor and contrast effects are more likely. Compared to previous studies investigating the consequences of trait inferences, this 'trait-referent ' hypothesis was tested in a relatively direct w y . Target judgments of participants instructed that trait-implying sentences described a 'behaviour ' showed assimilation, whereas judgments of participants instructed that these sentences described a 'person' showed contrast.
