Instructions for Liking of People described by Adjectives


In this study, you are asked to read descriptions of hypothetical people who are described by two adjectives and to judge how much you think you would like each person. Imagine that both adjectives are equally accurate descriptions, and each was provided by someone who knows the person well. For each case, imagine a person who would be described by the two adjectives and judge how much you think you would like them.

You will respond by clicking or sliding the mark along the scale to indicate how much you think you would like the person. Click farther to the left for those you dislike more and farther to the right for those you would like more. Click the middle of the scale if you feel neutral to the person.

The left-most point on the scale represents an extremely disliked person, malicious, mean, vicious, phony, untrustworthy, and liar. The right-most point represents an extremely likeable person who is kind, generous, helpful, sincere, trustworthy, and understanding. Place each person below on the scale relative to these endpoints.
