%X Un rasgo psicol車gico descrito con el verbo ser se considera m芍s estable que uno descrito con estar (Heyman & Diesendruck, 2002). Para establecer si esta distinci車n ling邦赤stica afecta a las inferencias sobre caracter赤sticas personales se realizaron 2 estudios complementarios con 62 escolares en diferente nivel de desarrollo (7 y 12 a os) y 108 estudiantes universitarios monoling邦es de espa ol peninsular, de nivel socioecon車mico medio, residentes en Madrid, Espa a. En ambos los participantes se distribuyeron en dos condiciones experimentales (ser y estar) y respondieron a una tarea de inferencias en que se describ赤an caracter赤sticas psicol車gicas y conductas asociadas a estas. Se realizaron an芍lisis multivariados y de medidas repetidas considerando la edad y la condici車n experimental. Solo los adultos y los ni os mayores infirieron que los rasgos descritos con ser eran m芍s estables que los descritos con estar, pero los menores en ambas condiciones experimentales infirieron que los rasgos eran estables. El efecto de ser y estar en las inferencias es relevante, pero debe interpretarse considerando las diferencias evolutivas. A psychological trait described with the verb ser is considered more stable than one expressed by using estar (Heyman & Diesendruck, 2002). In order to establish whether ser/estar verbal forms affect inferences about psychological traits, 2 studies were carried out on school children in different developmental levels (N = 62, 7 and 12 years) and university students (N = 108), monolingual speakers of Peninsular Spanish, from medium socioeconomic status, resident in Madrid, Spain. In both studies participants were randomly assigned to one of 2 experimental conditions (ser and estar) and responded to an inference task which consisted of the description of psychological characteristics and behaviors associated with them. Factorial and repeated measures analysis of variance were performed. Only the adults and older children inferred that the traits described with ser were more stable than those expressed with estar. The younger children inferred that the traits were stable in both experimental conditions. The effect of the linguistic distinction on inferences is significant, but should be interpreted bearing developmental differences in mind.
