Abstract
In a replication of R. Rosenthal's (see 41:8) E-expectancy effect findings, 39 undergraduates were assigned to 1 of 2 E-expectancy conditions. In addition, within each condition some Ss were made to feel apprehensive or ego involved in their performance, while the remaining Ss were assured that their performance would not be utilized to evaluate their functioning. Findings reveal that the expectation held by an E only led to confirmatory responses from the Ss when the Ss were personally concerned with their performance.
