Document Summary
Physical proximity plays a role in whether we will: meet people, interact with people, like people, befriend people, become attracted, fall in love. Research evidence: moreland and beach (1992) recruited 4 women pre rated to be equally attractive and they attended a certain class a particular number of times, they just attended and did not participate or have relationships with anyone in the class, at the end of the term the people in the class were asked to rate several things about the women (shown pictures) essentially asking how much they liked them, found that the more exposure they had with the woman the more they liked her and found her attractive. Research evidence: ebbesen et al. (1976) condo study, asked residents within this condo complex who their, caveat friends were, found the closer people, asked them who are your worst enemies, found that those people were also closer, reward model.
