The authors report that "Men and women Ss varied in their responses to these conditions, thus confounding the interpretation of the findings" and that results were not in each case statistically significant.

"Men and women Ss varied in their responses to these conditions, thus confounding the interpretation of the findings, but the results, though not in each case statistically significant, are not inconsistent with our hypotheses concerning the nature of attitude change."
