Abstract
Examined the hypothesis that ss' projection of the feeling tone of their interaction with the e can influence the results obtained with a person-perception task and that the number of mutual glances between e and s is an important determinant of that feeling tone. A pilot study, with 45 male undergraduates, demonstrated that ss who had just experienced success prior to the person-perception task were more likely to perceive success in neutral photos than were ss who had just experienced failure. The main experiment with 80 male high school students, found a direct relation between the number of times es glanced at ss and both (a) ss' self-reports of happiness and success, and (b) ss' tendency to perceive success in neutral photos.
