Abstract
"Unit forming principles in social perception can be regarded as social schemas or response sets to the extent that they function to structure ambiguous situations involving human objects . . . The present investigation is concerned with those social schemas that determine whether or not objects are thought of as belonging together." Ss grouped 9 different objects on a neutral ground, in any way they wanted. The results indicated that response sets determined the grouping, so much so, that in a 2nd phase of the experiment the set was strong enough to cause S to deviate from reconstructing E's sorts.
