Abstract(s)
In this study, we assessed how accurate are people in perceiving personalities of 'painters' based on observing their paintings. First group of subjects have created sets of six paintings in the art therapy and completed Big Five inventory IPJ-R. Other group of subjects have observed the paintings, assessed the personality of their authors using IPJ-R and then completed reduced version of Child measure of aesthetic judgment. Subjects were able to judge accurately only conscientiousness. Only accuracy of judgment of conscientiousness was higher for judges with higher ability of aesthetic judgment.
V této studii jsme sledoval přesnost percepce osobnosti "malířů" na základě sledování obrazů, které namalovali. První skupina zkoumaných osob vytvořila kolekci šesti obrazů v arteterapeutickém stylu a vyplnila dotazník Big Five IPJ-R. Druhá skupina pomocí IPJ-R odhadovala osobnost autorů na základě sledování těchto obrazů a poté vyplnila Childův test vyspělosti estetického vnímání. Zkoumané osoby byly schopny odhadnout pouze svědomitost "malíře". Pouze schopnost odhadnout svědomitost rostla s rostoucí vyspělostí estetického vnímání.
