In this study, participants were instructed to correct for the influence of a trait priming task on their judgments of ambiguous information. The time at which correction was instigated (preinformation or postinformation) determined whether contrastive correction effects were found solely on information‐related ratings (preinformation conditions) or on both information‐related and information‐unrelated ratings (postinformation conditions). Assimilative trait priming effects were found when no correction instructions were given. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
