Abstract

Anchoring effects in impression formation were studied as a function of distance between anchor and test stimulus, and differentiation of judge. Results uniformly lacked support for a perceptual assimilation-contrast approach to context effects in that contrast was not associated with either greater distance between anchor and test or maximum differentiation of judge. Consistent assimilation, or positive context effects, were supportive of an averaging model analysis of context effects in impression formation.
