Abstrakt: Twelve personally acquainted small groups of undergraduate college students were used in determining the effects of group flattery upon self-evaluation and its persistence over time. Results indicated: (a) an over-all tendency toward upward shifts on self-reevaluations subsequent to group flattery; (b) a statistically greater increase of flattered to unflattered personal characteristics immediately after the flattery situation; (c) no decrement in self-reevaluations after five days; and (d) no significant difference between flattered and unflattered personal characteristics after five days.
