Abstract
64 undergraduates were asked to imagine that they had awakened during the middle of the week not feeling very well and had to decide whether to go to work or not. They were told that they worked in a 2-person office and were given information about their work partner. All of the information, with the exception of 15 attitudes, was standardized across conditions. The attitudinal information was simulated to agree with S on either 20%, 47%, or 80% of the items. Ss were then asked to indicate whether they would go to work and to evaluate their work partner. As agreement between S and the work partner increased, attraction toward the work partner increased (F = 22.64, df = 2/61, p < .01). Also, as attitudinal similarity increased, Ss indicated a greater willingness to go to work (F = 4.27, df = 2/61, p < .05). Applications of the present results to industrial settings were discussed.
