Study Notes
Interpersonal Relationships and Physical Attractiveness
- The propinquity effect, influenced by factors such as functional distance and availability, impacts the likelihood of forming relationships.
- Festinger, Schachter, and Back's 1950 Westwood West Study used a sociometric survey to measure propinquity, finding that residents in specific rooms were more likely to be friends.
- Proximity encourages passive contacts and anticipating interaction with someone leads to increased liking due to cognitive dissonance pressures.
- The mere exposure effect, supported by Zajonc's 1968 study, shows that repeated exposure leads to greater liking.
- There are limits to the mere exposure effect, such as pre-existing conflicts getting intensified with exposure.
- Physical attractiveness influences the type of relationships formed, with communal and exchange relationships being impacted by similarity in interests, demographics, and physical and personality characteristics.
- The halo effect and self-fulfilling prophecy are consequences of physical attractiveness, influencing people's judgment and treatment of others.
- Contrary to the belief that beauty is only skin-deep, attractiveness is strongly related to popularity and success in both adults and children.
- Attractiveness is moderately related to intelligence/performance and adjustment in children, and to dating and sexual experience in adults.
- Attractive individuals are treated significantly more favorably, with attractiveness affecting evaluations of competence, attention, reward, and interactions.
- Judges show high and significant levels of agreement when evaluating the attractiveness of others, indicating that beauty is not solely in the eye of the beholder.
- The meta-analysis of effective reliability coefficients revealed high levels of agreement when evaluating the attractiveness of adults and children.
