This study was designed to see if the presence of E was sufficient to produce “demand characteristics” in a psychological experiment. Two physiological indices, electromyogram and heart rate, measured performance of a task, i.e., not to respond to a tone. E's presence facilitated S's ability not to respond as indicated by EMG. E's presence had a facilitating effect and “demand characteristics” of psychological experimentation appear to exist.

The article describes the experience of organizing psychological assistance in changing the attitude of adolescents to significant others. In the process of socio-psychological experimentation, the for-mation of relationships with significant others is considered as the leading activity of a teenager. The author, on the basis of the conducted empirical research, highlighted the stages of the consultative process aimed at initiating support for the adolescent’s awareness of his own system of constructs. The result of this process is to reconstruct the adolescent’s attitude to a significant other through the adolescent’s clarification of the similarities and differences in psychological characteristics between him and the other person.
