Scientists Confused After Conducting Tests on Believing
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York-tUPD-The attitude
of not believing anything un
til it has been proved scien-
1 1 f ically has
brought confu
sion to many
minds, and the
minds of Drs.
E 1 a ine Wal-
star and Leon
J- Festinger are
merely tne
latest. They
saw no really
ueios aniim g 0 0 d TeaSOn
to disbelieve it is human na
ture for people to be much
more impressed by what they
overhear when they are eaves
dropping than when the
speakers know they are pres
ent and listening. The fact
is the scientists were inclined
to believe it.
It sounds1' reasonable. Also
in its favor is just' about ev
eryone believes it. I" science
"intuitive knowledge" has
some value. But the fact re
mained It had never been test
ed scientifically, and Drs.
Walstar and Festinger could
not accept It until it hid been.
They put it to the test, with
100 young people. Half were
put into the situation of eaves
dropping on two strangers en
gaged in earnest conversa
tion. The other 50 overheard
the same conversation but
they knew the strangers, and
knew they were hearing ;very
word of it.
Knew in Advance .
The conversation was rigged,
of course, and designed to
be persuasive. It upheld the
thesis that any role cigarette
smoking may have in causing
lung cancer has not been
proved. Through an innocu
ous medical questionnaire the
scientists had found out far
in advance just how their sub
jects viewed this question.
The eavesdroppers were
more persuaded by this talk
but to the surprise of the sci
entists the differepce was
barely significant statistical
ly. They figured the signifi
cance would be greater if
they divided their subjects
into smokers and non-smok
ers.
"It seemed possible to us
that since smokers might be
very desirous of believing the
content of the persuasive

communication, they might
have changed a great deal,
and equally in both experi
mental situations,' they said
in reporting to the Am rican
Psychological Association.
Perplexing Finding
"The analysis of, the data,
however, revealed a very per
plexing finding. Not only was
this suggestion not true, but
the opposite was true."
Something had to be wrong
with their testing, they de
cided, and they worked out
then on a bunch of women.
Half were college girls living
in dormitories. The other half
were young wives. The for
mer overheard a conversation
in support of the idea that
college girls should be allow
ed to live "of campus" If they
wished. The wives overheard
one which argued husbands
should spend more time at
home.
The results were the same.
They were confused, the sci
entists confessed, and what
they've got to do now is to
study the whole '-"usiness
closely in order to get at sci
entific truths. One question
they want to answer is "Why,
when the involved subjects
hear a communication hich
advocates a position they
would like to accept, they
still tend to impute ulterior
motives to the speaker. '
