Abstract

Les auteurs refutent l'hypothese de distorsion systematique comme une explication de la facon dont sont faites les evaluations de traits et recherchent ce qui se passerait si une procedure de mesure etait utilisee qui previendrait les similarites semantiques de l'entree dans le processus d'evaluation et dans laquelle des structures conceptuelles pre-existantes ne pourraient etre mobilisees (N=216)
