Abstract
Using a Bogardus-type scale of ethnocentrism, 36 volunteers were rated as prejudiced or unprejudiced. Testing the Ss individually and with a partner in 2 autokinetic effect situations, it was found that "further evidence is provided that those subjects who are comparatively higher on ethnocentrism are also more inclined to adopt an anchoring point quickly in an unstructured situation. The anchoring points used in the above experiment were zero movement, a steady personal norm, and the norms of one''s partner.".Keywords
