A simple technique was devised to measure the influence of Ewhen commanding Sto do something he would rather not do. Each Swas first told to press a standard hand counter until he wanted to stop and then, when he had stopped, he was ordered to “Keep pressing.” Sex and age of children and sex of an adult Ewere varied in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design. Compliance, the number of presses of the hand counter after the instruction to keep pressing, was greatest for male fourth graders on command by the male E. |
