Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Experimental Psychology (Arts and Sciences).
The current research investigates the reciprocity of attraction phenomenon. The first six studies offer evidence for reciprocal liking and disliking. The first study demonstrated the effect while using a confederate. The second and third study demonstrated that people reciprocate attraction with both a previously liked and less liked individual. The fourth and fifth study employed an unobtrusive measure of attraction and the sixth demonstrates the effect by observing a real-world natural event, the sorority recruitment process. A seventh study was included a control condition as well as an unobtrusive measure of attraction.
