Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between dimensions of trait information and attraction judgments using 50male Ss. It was hypothesized and generally found that social trait information related to ratings of preferred playmate (likableness scale) and that intellectual trait information related to judgments of reliable task partner (respect scale). A selected group of 10 social-type Ss showed sensitivity to social traits of target persons, whereas 10 intellectual-type Ss were more sensitive to the intellectual traits of target persons. These effects operated independently of the normative scale values of these traits.
