The present study examined the relationship between the prestige of the diagnostician and subjects' (a) personal validation of genuine, test-based personality evaluations and (b) pre- and postfeedback changes in self-attitudes. It was found that (a) subjects in all conditions rated the interpretations as being fairly accurate descriptions of their personalities; (b) the acceptance of the feedback did not vary as a function of experimenter prestige; and (c) receiving personality feedback had no effects on subjects' self-attitudes. This latter finding was examined from the viewpoint of social judgment theory.
本研究考察了诊断者的威望与受试者（a）基于测试的真实人格评估的个人验证，以及（b）反馈前后自我态度变化之间的关系。研究发现：（a）所有条件下的受试者都认为这些解释相当准确地描述了他们的个性；（b）对反馈的接受程度并不因实验者的威望而有所不同；（c）接受人格反馈对受试者的自我态度没有影响。后一项发现从社会判断理论的角度进行了考察。
