Generality of the Negative Suggestion Effect in Objective Tests.
Toppino, Thomas C.; Luipersbeck, Susan M.
Journal of Educational Research, v86 n6 p357-62 Jul-Aug 1993
This study investigated the generality of the negative suggestion effect in objective tests. College students read text passages and took objective tests. Later, they rated statements' validity, including statements from the initial test. Students were more likely to consider objectively false statements true if they had appeared on the earlier test.
