Fifty veterans who had previously been interviewed intensively, and whose tolerance attitudes were known, were exposed experimentally to anti-Semitic propaganda. While most of the tolerant men disapproved of the propaganda and intolerant men approved it, there were important deviant cases. Analysis of the reactions of the group indicated that such propaganda was most likely to be effective if it appeared authoritative and objective, and if it served to diminish anxieties of the recipient without arousing new ones.
