Abstract
Behavior can be automatically affected by the perception of other people, be they significant others or members of social groups (e.g., Bargh, Chen, & Burrows, 1996; Chartrand & Bargh, 1999; Fitzsimons & Bargh, 2003). The current research uses these findings as a basis for investigation of the psychological construct of anthropomorphism. Two studies explore whether subtle exposure to anthropomorphized objects such as domestic animals (e.g., dogs and cats) can activate associated concepts and automatically influence behavior. The findings suggest that even incidental exposure to animals associated with human characteristics influences behavior in an automatic fashion, such that people “match” the personality attributed to the nonhuman entity. This provides initial evidence for the role of anthropomorphism in guiding social behavior.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
