Document Summary
Effects of physical attractiveness recall snyder et al, 1977: male participants shown female photo. We don"t realize that we affect a lot of people: results, men shown the attractive photo expected the woman to be more engaging, poised, humorous, men shown unattractive photos expected the woman to be more awkward, serious, unsociable. Proximity and mere exposure, in order to have an initial attraction for someone you have to see them. Mere exposure study: women came for 8 of the classes, and the more often she came, she was more familiar so the men rated her as more attractive. Familiarly breeds liking: similarity: we like people who are or whom we perceive similar to us. Matching hypothesis: dating, marriage, we choose partners who are physically similar to us. If we rate ourselves as a 6, we like people who are also a 6. we also like people who share the same attitudes as us .
