Resumo(s)
This paper extends research on how mental illness (MI) labels affect personality inference byintroducing a target face. We hypothesized that the influence of label/stereotypes is limitedby how individuals perceive facial cues as fitting the label. In three experiments, participantsrated targets on competence, warmth, dominance, and trustworthiness based on face photospaired with either a healthy or MI label (Experiment 1), or with labels of depression andschizophrenia (Experiments 2 and 3). As predicted, labels influenced perceptions only whenfacial features were seen as fitting the label. In these cases, MI and schizophrenia labelsincreased perceived dominance and reduced other traits. When perceived to match the face,the depression label produced a distinct stereotype profile from MI, aligning with previousfindings. These findings highlight the interplay between top-down and bottom-up processesin person perception, corroborating that subtle mismatches with stereotypes can reduce thebiasing effects of MI labels
