    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Personality Psychology

    Background:

    • Perceptual reactance, the tendency to resist perceptual modification, has been conceptualized as both a state and a trait.
    • Understanding the personality correlates of perceptual reactance is crucial for a comprehensive model.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between personality traits and perceptual reactance.
    • To differentiate between state and trait components of perceptual reactance.

    Main Methods:

    • College students (24 males, 36 females) completed the kinesthetic figural aftereffect task and the 16 PF personality inventory.
    • Data were analyzed to identify personality correlates of perceptual reactance and its state versus trait components.

    Main Results:

    • A significant trait component of perceptual reactance emerged reliably over trials.
    • Perceptual 'reducers' were characterized as outgoing, feeling-affected, happy-go-lucky, practical, and undisciplined.
    • Perceptual 'augmenters' were characterized as reserved, stable, sober, imaginative, and controlled.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support a trait model of perceptual reactance.
    • A state component of perceptual reactance can interfere with or modulate the trait expression.
