A laboratory situation was devised so as to emulate the phenomenon of successive generations. Groups were established, and individuals were gradually replaced with naive Ss. The attempt was to see whether an idea inculcated in the first" generation," could be sustained through subsequent" generations." Sherif's (1936) Autokinetic Effect (AKE) was utilized. Confederates helped establish false norms. As new members of the" generation" arrived, replacing the confederates, they were exposed to the AKE phenomenon, but to the falsified norms. Gradually, measurement of AKE in the experimental group shifted from the original" faked" norm to that found in a control group. It was hypothesized that individuals tend to formulate opinions through a compromise between their personal ideas and those of those around them.
