Why and when do people disagree on their conceptions or prototypes of social categories? In 6 studies, it was revealed that such differences tend to be self-serving. Ss tended to endorse self-descriptive attributes as central to their prototypes of desirable social concepts and emphasize features that were not self-descriptive in their conceptions of undesirable categories. Such disagreements were constrained to attributes potentially central to the domain in question and did not occur for clearly peripheral features. Self-serving differences in prototype structure were exhibited in social information processing tasks and led to disagreements in judgments of others. Potential mechanisms underlying the development of these egocentric cognitive structures and their implications for self-serving judgments of ability are discussed.
