The present study investigated how an individual was informationally influenced by the opinion of a similar or dissimilar other. Subiects independently judged the relative subsequent success of two teacher applicants. Each subject then exchanged his judgment with one other subject. Half of the subjects were told that they would share their judgment with another who had similar viewpoints concerning the image of "a desirable teacher", half, that they would share it with another who had dissimilar viewpoints. The subjects then received the other's judgment, which agreed or disagreed with his own. The influence of the other's judgment was measured by changes in confidence about the subject's own judgment. The results were generally found to support the attribution theory predictions that a dissimilar other's agreement would raise confidence more than a similar other's agreement and that a similar other's disagreement would lower confidence more than a dissimilar other's disagreement. It was also found that asimilar other was liked more than a dissimilar other whether he agreed or not.
