Attitude changes in experiments are genuine, not mere compliance

Evidence

I think we can lay to rest the suspicion that the students did not really change their attitudes in all these studies, but merely pretended to, to please the Experimenter. For subjects here were still affected by an article that the Experimenter condemned—not as much as when the Experimenter insisted he be considered neutral, of course, but almost as much. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3256
