Abstract

This study investigated the effect of depression on Lewicki's self-im age bias in person perception. Beck Depression scale(BDI) was administered to college students, and depressed and non-depressed groups were sorted. And subjects were asked to rate frankly fourteen target-persons on according to seventeen trait-dimensions. Having established the subject's self-ratings representing positivity of his or her location on each dimension and each dimension's centrality measure, I determined self-ratings-centrality relation separately for each subject. This study demonstrated that there was a positive corelation between positivity of self ratings and centrality in non-depression group and a negative corelation in depression group.
