AB - This study extendedresearch on transference in social perception (e.g., S. M. Andersen, I. Reznik, & L. M. Manzella, 1996) into the realmof social behavior by examining behavioral confirmation (e.g., M. Snyder, 1992) in transference. Each perceiver participatedin a brief conversation with a naive target participant, who either did or did not appear toresemble the perceiver’s own positively or negatively regarded significant other.Trained judges rated positive affect expressed in targets’ behavior. As predicted,targets expressed more positive affect in their behavior when they allegedly resembled theperceiver’s own positively versus negatively toned significant other, an effect notfound in the control condition. This evidence demonstrates behavioral confirmation intransference, suggesting a means by which present relationships may resemble past ones.
