Another direction for future research in situation perception is the development of a comprehensive situation taxonomy.
This study shows distinct construals in three situations derived from TAT cards,
but this is still not a comprehensive description of situations experienced in reality.
These three cards were not selected to be representative of all situations a person regularly encounters.
Rather,
they were chosen because they were standardized stimuli with a clear setting and clear characters for participants to examine.
A step towards a greater understanding of the relationship between construals and personality would be to use a theoretically or empirically derived representative set of situations as stimuli.
However, taken in conjunction with the work of Sherman and colleagues(2013), these two studies capture many of the relevant issues in situation perception.
Sherman and colleagues (2013) showed differences in perception of situations actually experienced by participants (although not research assistants),
and this study showed the same phenomena in a standardized setting,
thereby ensuring that the hypothesized mechanisms were indeed present.
