Abstract
The effect of the importance of deviant or conforming group members on S's evaluation of these group members was investigated. The importance of other group members to the Ss was varied in terms of the interaction distance between Ss and conforming and deviant group members. Interaction distance is considered as a description of certain aspects of spatial closeness and temporal length of interpersonal association. (a) Attitudes toward a deviant group member became more unfavorable as interaction distance decreases and (b) attitudes toward a conforming group member become more favorable as interaction distance decreases.
