Abstract
Asch's experiment on forming impressions of personality on the basis of lists of traits, one trait being different for the two experimental groups, is reduplicated with certain variations. In the first experiment, the traits are embodied in a descriptive passage reproduced on tape, the variable trait being represented by changes in tone of voice. The second experiment makes only a slight modification on Asch's original experiment, and confirms his main findings: however, the data are, in part, differently analysed. The results of the two experiments are discussed in relation to theoretical points raised by Asch, some of which have been recently disputed by Wishner.Keywords
