Psychological distance is
defined as “a subjective experience that something is closer or
far away from the self, here and now” (Trope & Liberman, 2010,
p. 440). Because social distance is one dimension of psychological
distance, CLT predicts that the greater a social distance to
another person, the more likely the person is represented in
terms of abstract, primary concepts, such as stereotypes and
dispositions, rather than in terms of concrete and more incidental
details
