Nonhandicapped individuals may prefer handicapped partners to manage impressions, especially in public. This "sympathy effect" is linked to impression management, not genuine preference, when observers can infer choices.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Attribution Theory

Context:

  • Previous research indicated a "sympathy effect" where nonhandicapped individuals preferred handicapped interaction partners.
  • This study investigated if this effect stems from impression management tendencies.

Purpose:

  • To examine the role of impression management in the preference for handicapped interaction partners.
  • To test whether situational factors like attributional ambiguity and public responsibility influence this preference.

Summary:

  • Female subjects chose interaction partners (handicapped or nonhandicapped) under varying conditions of attributional ambiguity and public responsibility.
  • The handicapped partner was preferred only when choices were unambiguous and public, supporting the impression management hypothesis.
  • Results suggest nonhandicapped individuals aim to project positive, nondiscriminatory behavior towards the handicapped to avoid negative observer impressions.

Impact:

  • Findings highlight the strategic nature of social interactions and impression management.
  • Demonstrates how situational factors can influence perceived altruism and social behavior towards individuals with physical handicaps.
  • Contributes to understanding social dynamics and biases in intergroup interactions.
