Perceptions of Relative Influence: Formation and Measurement
提出模型解释相对影响力感知和报告中的误差来源，分析推断能力和感知偏差的影响因素，发现使用更具体的测量能提高配偶自报相对影响力的准确性。
A model is proposed to explain sources of error in perceptions and reports of relative influence. The analysis focuses on the determinants of inferential ability and perceptual bias and their effects on the accuracy of spouses’ self-reports on relative influence. Results have implications for research on groups, indicating that accuracy improves when more specific measures are used. Further, accuracy is improved through the impact of specificity on relative influence, traditionalism, desire to win, empathy, stage in the family lifecycle, education, and sex.
