On stability of the structure of implicit personality theory over situations.
In the present study, the following (hitherto unaddressed) question was posed: "Is the structure of implicit personality theory stable over situations?". In order to answer this question, correlation coefficients were computed between different aspects of two trait-structures obtained under different situational conditions. The results seem to indicate that the structure of IPT is stable over situations. The results are discussed in the light of some methodological considerations.
