Abstract
Previous studies have used cross-sectional designs to demonstrate the beneficial effect of acquaintanceship on the validity of personality impressions. To counter critiques of those studies, a longitudinal design was used. Participants were randomly assigned to 16 groups of 5-7 members who met once a week for 7 weeks. None of the participants in any group were previously acquainted. Before the first meeting, they completed a battery of self-report measures, including the NEO Five Factor Inventory and the revised Interpersonal Adjective Scales

Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality, showing substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors.

Although errors can be highly informative about the process of judgment in general, they are not necessarily relevant to the content or accuracy of particular judgments, because errors in a laboratory may not be mistakes with respect to a broader, more realistic frame of reference and the processes that produce such errors might lead to correct decisions and adaptive outcomes in real life.

An item-analytic procedure that identifies and selects items in terms of their estimated geometric location within a circumplex model is described and applied to the task of reducing the 128-item IAS to a 64-item short form version (IAS-R), found to have improved substantive and structural characteristics and acceptable reliability.

The results imply that agreement among acquaintances' judgments must derive at least partly from experience with and observation of the person who is judged, and that people are intuitively knowledgeable about the traits they can judge with more and less agreement.

This research focused on the target effect on a perceiver's judgments of personality when the perceiver and the target are unacquainted, and found evidence that the consensus in judgments on these two dimensions had some validity, in that they correlated with self-judgments on those two dimensions.

A general model of interpersonal perception based on Anderson's (1981) weighted-average model is developed and shows that increased acquaintance does not always lead to large changes in consensus.

Investigation of the relation between acquaintanceship and behavioral prediction indicated that acquaintances' judgments predicted personality scores much better than did strangers' judgments, but acquaintances' and strangers' judgment did equally well at predicting behavior.
