An integrative framework for the examination of self-other agreement personality judgments at zero acquaintance is outlined that integrates dualistic approaches to personality, behavior, and within Brunswikian (1956) lens model. The dual model (DLM) distinguishes between explicit implicit self-concepts controlled automatic cues, deliberate intuitive judgments. In a first application DLM, targets (N = 56) were videotaped during short self-introductions, direct indirect measures extraversion as well number physical, kinesic, vocal, verbal cues obtained. Perceivers judged targets' based on these video sequences either in global judgment condition (Study 1: N 95) or versus an 2: 82). both studies, results showed correlated with self-concept (self-other agreement). correlation was fully mediated by utilization valid it self. Whereas did not moderate agreement, perceivers' style associated higher levels relation could be explained DLM analyses. Results underline utility proposed study interpersonal
