16 psychologists were asked to make two predictions about the volunteering behavior of Ss who had participated in a psychological experiment. The first prediction was to be based upon each psychologist's personal opinion about the outcome. They were encouraged to use any psychological theory which seemed appropriate to them. The second prediction was to be based upon what the respondents thought cognitive dissonance theory would predict in the situation. A comparison of these predictions yielded some results which reflected upon the connotative status of cognitive dissonance theory. The relationship between these predictions and the actual outcome was also noted
