先前的研究表明，在印象形成环境中，如果被贴上黑人或身体残疾的标签，受试者会比没有被贴上标签的受试者更喜欢被采访者。这似乎与关于成见性质的一般假设相矛盾。这些发现的三种解释是先进的：他们可能反映了大学生对这些外群体成员的实际积极偏见;他们可能代表无意识的扭曲主体的真实感受;或者他们可能代表有意识的扭曲真实感受，以使社会可取的反应。本研究通过所谓的假管道操纵来测试第三种可能性，其中一些受试者被引导相信实验者可以获得他们对受访者的真实感受。结果表明，黑人的高评价是一种社会期望现象，而残疾人的高评价不是一种社会期望现象。
Prior research has shown that subjects in an impression formation setting rated an interviewee more favorably if he was labeled as either black or physically handicapped than if he was not labeled. This seems to contradict common assumptions about the nature of stigma. Three interpretations of these findings are advanced: They may reflect actual positive biases held by college students regarding members of these outgroups; they may represent unconscious distortions of subjects' true feelings; or they may represent conscious distortions of true feelings in order to make socially desirable responses. The present study was undertaken to test the third possibility by means of a so‐called bogus pipeline manipulation, in which some subjects were led to believe that the experimenter had access to their actual feelings about the interviewee. The results indicated that the high rating of the black was a social desirability phenomenon, but the high rating of the handicapped person was not.
