Individual Differences in Attentional Resources and Social Cognition: Elaboration and Complexity in Representations of Others and Self

  • Chapter
Generative Mental Processes and Cognitive Resources

Abstract

Studies addressed the impact of individual differences in attentional resources on the degree of elaboration and complexity evident in people’s social information processing, particularly their representations of others and of self. In all studies, attentional resources were assessed in terms of processing speed and working memory. In each study, principal components analyses served to derive a resource factor score for each participant. These resource factors scores were correlated with social information processing. The first studies addressed elaboration by trait of behavioral information concerning another person that participants expected to meet. The next study addressed the degree of complexity in self-representation. The last study addressed the complexity of people’s representations of their own and others’ emotions in response to emotionally evocative scenarios. Findings indicate that participants with more attentional resources evidence more trait elaboration, more complex self-representations, and more complex representations of others’ emotions.
