It was hypothesized that sex of observer, attitudes towards women, sexuality, the rape itself and perceptions of the targets on a number of behavioral dimensions would predict target perception. Each subject rated one of four persons: a male rapist, a female rape victim, a male control target, or a female control target. T…

Effects of Sexual Experience on Dating Desirability and Marriage Desirability: An Experimental Study
An experimental investigation of the effects of the level of sexual experience of men and women college students on their evaluations of opposite-sex peers varying in sexual experience was performed. Inexperienced men, and both inexperienced and moderately experienced women, rated highly experienced opposite-sex peers as less desirable dates and marriage partners than inexperienced and moderately experienced persons. Moderately and highly experie…

Reversing Authoritarian Punitiveness: The Impact of Verbal Conditioning
Half of each of two groups of initially high- or low-authoritarian subjects were exposed to verbal conditioning procedures in which the authoritarianism scores of high authoritarians were decreased, while those of low authoritarians were increased. The remaining halves were assigned to control groups in which no conditioning was utilized. All subjects then participated in a simulated jury task in which guilt, sentencing, and parole recommendation…

Preacquaintance Attitude Similarity and Attraction Revisited: Ten Days in a Fall-Out Shelter
Thirteen previously unacquainted males lived together for ten days under simulated fall-out shelter conditions. Subjects'attitudes regarding 44 issues were assessed one day prior to the beginning of confinement and positive and negative sociometric choices were assessed at the end of the first, fifth, and ninth days of confinement. Attraction to other group members, as assessed by sociometric choices, was significantly and positively related to t…
Sexual stimulation and interpersonal behavior: Heterosexual evaluative responses, visual behavior, and physical proximity
Simulated Jury Decisions: The Influence of Jury-Defendant Attitude Similarity-Dissimilarity
Subjects were exposed to a standard videotape account of a crime of negligent automobile homicide. With the criminal evidence held constant, the similarity of the defendant's attitudes to those of simulated jury members was varied. Subjects exposed to a defendant with attitudes dissimilar to their own rated the defendant as more guilty, sentenced him to a greater number of years of imprisonment, recommended lengthier terms of imprisonment prior t…

Influence of Information about Ability and Non-Ability on Personnel Selection Decisions
The influences on simulated personnel selection decisions of a job applicant's intellectual ability and the degree to which his opinions agreed with those of an evaluator were investigated in a factorial experiment using 78 undergraduates. Both variables significantly ( p < .01) influenced recommendations to hire or not hire the applicant. The results were discussed with respect to the influence of valid and invalid job-success predictors on sele…
