Abstract

This study investigated the role that knowledge about others plays in forming expectations about future interaction with them, by affecting the difficulty of imagining their possible thoughts and behaviors. Participants were given knowledge about targets, which was manipulated in two ways: whether it was informative about the targets, and whether it was applicable to the subsequent task imagining targets’ reactions in various situations. Having knowledge useful in imagining targets’ reactions had a positive effect on outlook of future interaction with the targets, and this effect was partly mediated by the difficulty experienced while imagining the reactions. The data also suggested that when participants had no informative knowledge about the targets, they applied knowledge about others that was available to them.
