This study replicates findings of a study reported by Anderson, Reynolds, Schallert, and Goetz (1977) . Interpretation of ambiguously worded paragraphs was related to sex and interests of the participants. Interests were determined by subject matter major of the participants. Titles on the paragraphs reduced the ambiguity although the presence of a title did not determine the interpretation of all participants exposed to the title.
