Abstract
Ss were led to believe that their preferences (among eight pairs of tunes) were similar to those of 1 of 2 other individual's preferences. Subsequently, it was discovered that S tended to show similar preference for other stimuli (nonsense syllables, pairs of girl's names) to those of the individual with whom they initially agreed. The results were interpreted in terms of a cognitive theory of identification and related to the conditions under which projection and introjection might take place. From Psyc Abstracts 36:04:4HJ50S.
