Fazio, Effrein, and Falender (1981) showed that asking subjects questions designed to elicit information primarily about introverted or extraverted life events results in shifts in self-perceptions and social behavior in the direction of the type of question asked. The present study examined the durability of this effect with regard to self-perceptions. Subjects were randomly selected to answer either introverted or extraverted questions and to interact with a confederate trained to act in either an introverted or extraverted manner. A main effect of question type was found on subjects' self-perception of introversion-extraversion both before and after interaction with the confederate. In addition, changes in self-perception were found to be influenced by confederate type.
