Abstract
Studied the effects of physical appearance (attractive-unattractive) and perceived attitude similarity (high-low) on self-report and nonverbal measures of interpersonal attraction. The physical attractiveness of female confederates, but not their perceived degree of similarity to the 48 male undergraduate Ss, resulted in a number of significant effects during the experimental session. Self-report measures taken 2-4 wks subsequent to the laboratory interaction revealed that Ss had thought more about their partner in the interim, continued to feel they liked her more, and tended to remember more details of her appearance if she had been attractive rather than unattractive. Again, no effects for perceived attitude similarity were detected. (22 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
