The Effect of Implicit Person Theory on Performance Appraisals.
Open accessAbstract
Four studies examined whether implicit person theory (IPT) regarding the malleability of personal attributes (e.g., personality and ability) affects managers' acknowledgment of change in employee behavior. The extent to which managers held an incremental IPT was positively related to their recognition of both good (Study 1) and poor (Study 2) performance, relative to the employee behavior they initially observed. Incremental theorists' judgments were not anchored by their prior impressions (Study 3). In the 4th study, entity theorists who were randomly assigned to a self-persuasion training condition developed a significantly more incremental IPT. This change in IPT was maintained over a 6-week period and led to greater acknowledgment of an improvement in employee performance than was exhibited by entity theorists in the placebo control group.

“Dunning, Meyerowitz, and Holzberg (1989) reported that ratings of behaviors (e.g., “attends social functions”) contained less error (e.g., inflation) than ratings of traits (e.g., “congenial”).”

“Implicit theory research, conducted with children and students by educational and social psychologists (e.g., Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Kamins & Dweck, 1999 ), has focused largely on the motivational implications of holding a primarily entity or incremental implicit theory.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
