Eleven
Japanese experimenters conducted an experiment in person perception
with a total of 88 Japanese subjects at Keio University. For half
their Ss, Es were led to expect Ss to rate photos as being of successful
people. For the remaining half Es were led to expect Ss to rate photos
as being of unsuccessful people. Results showed that Es tended to
obtain data from Ss in a direction opposite to that which they had
been led to expect. As has been found in other studies, the magnitude
of the expectancy effect increased over the course of the experiment
with later contacted Ss showing greater reversal effects. Largest
reversal expectancy effects were obtained by Es who were more loud,
more talkative, faster speaking, and more pushy.
