MILTON D. HAKELl Organizational Research Senrice and Department of Psychology The Ohio State University INTERPERSONAL behavior is partly dependent 011 expectations about what others will do. Onc. frequently lacks detailed knowledge of people with wliom one interacts, and as a consequence one must use a set of learned associations about traits, attributes, and IIChaviors in order to be able to anticipate what others arc likely to do, or t o make decisions ahout them. These sets of learned associations can be conceptualized as a system of inferential rclationships among personality and behavioral descriptors. These systems of descriptor interrelations have been called “implicit personality theories” by Bruner and Tagiuri (1954) and Cronbach (1955) (although Wiggins, 1973, rejects this designation), have been included in what Kelly (1955) calls “personal constructs” and are relatable to stercotyping.
