Abstract
A control group ( n = 120) overranked position number one in ranking a set of five homogeneous entities. This error did not appear when two experimental groups ( ns = 120) performed the same task after reading a short paragraph and long paragraph, respectively, explicating the nature of “position error” in ranking. In fact, greater randomness was obtained with the short paragraph group, suggesting that a brief set of precautionary instructions is sufficient for eliminating such an error.
