Abstract
The usefulness of time estimation as a standard task in social-influence studies was determined by replicating Sherif's autokinetic research. Divided into two conditions, Ss received 15-, 45-, or 75-sec time intervals during two sessions. Half of the Ss wrote estimates in Session 1 and gave oral estimates in Session 2. The other half of the Ss gave oral estimates during Session 1 and wrote estimates in Session 2. The results were in agreement with Sherif's autokinetic research, indicating that time estimation is an acceptable substitute for the autokinetic effect, which is expensive and cumbersome. © 1971, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
