The experiments looked at how talking to people who hold stereotypes about you can affect how you see yourself. When people wanted to get along with the other person, they started to see themselves in the same way as the other person, even if it wasn't good for them. This happened when the other person's views were either in line with or against the stereotype. When people wanted to keep their distance from the other person, they didn't change how they saw themselves based on the other person's views.
