Abstract
Stock market investors were surveyed by mail for a study of the multidimensionality of Rotter's scale for this group. All common stock investors, 253 respondents, comprised a sample 94% male, ranging in age from 21 yr. to over 65 yr. ( M = 50 yr.). The mean of the Rotter scores was 6.79, with a SD of 3.67. Following principal components analysis with a varimax rotation, extracted factors corresponded closely to those found by previous researchers using data from high school and college students.

An experiment was conducted to explore further the relationship between prior agreement from others and subsequent conformity to their erroneous judgments, and tested two related hypotheses: that task confidence is a direct function of the level of prior agreement experienced, and that conformity is curvilinearly related to thelevel of task confidence and prior agreement.
