“…We used 68 female photos for the experiment. They were selected from the Russian Database of Neutral and Smiling Female Faces (Moroshkina, Ivanchei, Tikhonov, Karpov, & Ovchinnikova, 2018). The stimuli from the database are female portrait photos with the models’ own choice of clothes and makeup.…”

We address the question how people's opinion and features of information interact in the process of indirect social influence. Implicit learning was considered as a mechanism for conformity in social perception. We carried out 2 experiments using a hidden covariation detection paradigm. In a learning phase, participants memorized a set of female photographs presented together with their attractiveness ratings. The ratings correlated with the hairstyle of the photographed women. The participants who did not consciously detect this correlation demonstrated a systematic bias toward the correlation when evaluating the new stimulus persons. Information about the source of the ratings in the learning phase (other people's opinions or nonsocial sources) did not modulate learning. Learning was not observed when participants critically evaluated the ratings during the memorization phase. The study shows that (a) conformity may be based not only on reinforcement learning mechanism (as was previously suggested) but also on unsupervised implicit learning; (b) implicit learning occurs automatically irrespective of the context (social or not); and (c) a critical attitude toward learned material may prevent implicit learning from being manifested in a test phase. We conclude that indirect social influence may be affected by people's opinion toward the provided information. The study contributes to both implicit learning and social perception research.

“…Stimuli were thirty photographs of female faces from the Russian Database of Neutral and Smiling Female Faces (RuNeS Faces; Moroshkina et al, 2018) with perceived intelligence scores ranging from 90.78 to 105.04. Based on previous research (Gerhskovich & Bystrova, 2019), we selected 15 pictures as "women with low IQ" and 15 pictures as "women with high IQ".…”

“…We chose this task because studies show that people easily provide evaluations of one's traits based on their appearance (Barabanschikov & Mainina, 2010), and facial stimuli are widely used for investigations of memory (e.g., . Previous research also shows that there are common features in appearances that one may use to evaluate intelligence (Moroshkina, Ivanchei, Tikhonov, Karpov, & Ovchinnikova, 2018). After their initial evaluations were elicited, we made the participants believe that they would see the evaluations and comments of three anonymous participants who completed the same task previously.…”

A number of studies have demonstrated the memory conformity effect: interactions and discussions with other people affect remembering and provoke errors in memory reports in the direction of the opinions of others. Nowadays, communication via online social networks, where people read and leave comments on different facts, is of particular importance. The present study focuses on how evaluations and comments provided by anonymous others affect the memory of one’s initial opinion. The research aims to clarify new specific conditions under which memory conformity may occur. We conducted a laboratory experiment. Participants had to evaluate the IQ of a person in a photo. Then, we made the participants believe that they would see the evaluations and comments of three anonymous participants who completed the same task previously. For some photos, we presented evaluations and comments that supported the participants’ initial opinion. For some other photos, we presented estimations and comments that were conflicting (i.e., opposite to the participants’ initial decision). Then, we tested the participants’ memories of the initial evaluations and compared them to the control condition with no comments and evaluations from others. The results demonstrated that conflicting opinions were a predictor of a memory change towards the values inserted in the comments of others, whereas congruent opinions were a predictor of the initial evaluations’ replication. These results suggest that memory conformity may be evoked indirectly, without real social interactions and social pressure and without information about the reliability of the sources
