Effects of purpose of the appraisal and expectation of validation on self-appraisal leniency.
研究了评估目的（评分目的 vs 研究目的）和验证期望（高 vs 低）对自我评估宽松度的影响，发现评分目的导致更宽松的自我评估，而高验证期望则降低宽松度。
Tested the hypothesis that (1) self-appraisals conducted under a grading purpose are more lenient than those conducted under a research purpose and (2) self-appraisals obtained under conditions with high expectation of validation are less lenient than those obtained under conditions with low expectation of validation with 62 undergraduates. Ss completed self-reports of the classroom participation; the questionnaires varied in the purpose of appraisal and the expectation of validation. Both hypotheses were strongly supported.
