Question

Which of the following are NOT factors that influence the process of impression formation? social identity social schemas stereotyping personal disclosure self-fulfilling prophecies

Answer 1

Answer:

Among the factors mentioned, there is one that does NOT influence the process of impression formation:

1. social identity

Explanation:

Social schemas, stereotyping, personal disclosure and self-fulfilling prophecies are all factors that influence impression formation. Impression formation is the process through which we form an impression concerning another individual by putting together pieces of knowledge and past impressions. Such an impression is not necessarily permanent, since it can keep on changing as new information is learned. Social identity is not a factor that influences impression formation. Social identity can be defined as our view of ourselves when we belong to a group. In other words, belonging to a group can be a source of self-esteem and pride to us. As we can see, this is related to one's own self, not directed to others.
