Abstract
119 unsuspecting college students were given a personality drawing test and weeks later received 12 faked interpretive statements. The majority of the returned statements were written to imply social adjustment which, depending upon random assignment, was either favorable, unfavorable, or neutral. Ss in the favorable and neutral groups endorsed the credibility of the interpretations in general with greater intensity than those in the unfavorable group and were more convinced of the veracity of each individual statement, including two uncomplimentarily-worded statements which were contained in the profiles of all three groups.
