Abstract
"The hypothesis that the interaction of observer pairs is a function of the degree of prior reinforcement of the judgment responses was tested on 38 Ss who first made judgments of lengths of lines when alone, and then in pairs. The pairs were so chosen that the alone judgments of the two Ss overlapped minimally . . . On the basis of these findings it is concluded that Ss with a past history of positive reinforcement in a given type of judgment are less influenced by their partners in a group judgment situation than Ss with a history of negative reinforcement."
