This study is a replication of research concerning the relationship between authoritarianism, as measured by the California F scale and accuracy of interpersonal perception. Ss were students at Kansas State College, and the method was similar to that used previously by Scodel and Mussen and by Scodel and Freedman. Pairs of Ss discussed for 20 minutes an assigned topic after taking the F scale. After the discussion they were asked to fill out the F scale as they felt their partners in the discussion would respond to it. The previous findings were duplicated by this study. The mean estimate by high F Ss was very similar to the mean of the high F Ss' own scores, regardless of the partners' actual positions on the F scale.
