PERCEPTUAL RESPONSES TO CONFORMERS AND DEVIATORS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the differences of perceptual responses to uniformers, conformers, non-conformers and anti-conformers, and to investigate the subjects' emotional loadings toward them. Thirty-one subjects were asked to judge the distance perception regarding photographs of uniformers, or of conformers, or of non-conformers, or of anti-conformers, on the size-distance table. The subjects who saw the uniformers' photograph changed its photograph toward the positive emotional direction on the size-distance table. The subjects who saw the photoghraph of conformers, or of non-conformers, or of anticonformers, changed its photograph toward the negative emotional direction on the sizedistance table.
