Three experiments tested the cross - ituational generality of trait expectancies. In each experiment, participants were told about a behaviour that a target person performed in one situation and subsequently made predictions about the target person’s behaviour in a different situation. In addition, the behaviours pertained to positive or negative hierarchically restrictive or partially restrictive trait dimensions. The findings from Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that behaviors consistent with the negative pole of hierarchically restrictive trait dimensions are most likely to be expected by participants to generalize across situations. In Experiment 3, the behaviours were relevant to ability rather than morality, and in this case, it was behaviours consistent with the positive pole of hierarchically restrictive trait dimensions that were most likely to be expected to generalize across situations.
