Dear colleagues,
We are in the process of conducting a meta-analysis on the association between self-reported interpersonal attraction and behavioral expressions of attraction. To minimize the biased sampling of only published studies, we are asking investigators for their results of any of their unpublished studies that include a measure of self-reported interpersonal attraction and assessments of behavior related to attraction (e.g., seating distance, amount of eye contact, body orientation, etc.).
We are interested in:
*Studies that ask participants to (1) self-report levels of attraction to a second person (i.e., partner, classmate, teacher, etc.) and then (2) obtain some measure of behavior toward said person.
*Studies that ask participants to (1) interact with an unknown person or relationship partner, and then (2) ask for self-reported attraction of said person.
A few additional points:
**Assessments of attraction assessed via self-report may include emotional assessments or intentions to behave in a particular way toward the target person. For example,
- "I like him/her."
- "I would like to spend time with him/her."
- "I would ask this person out on a date."
**Behavioral expression of attraction could include: measured chair distance, seating distance, amount of time spent talking, eye contact, genuine smiles, request to contact the person in the future, etc.
- Participants must actually engage in the behavior that is measured, rather than simply stating/reporting that they would perform a certain behavior (e.g., asking participants to self-report what they would do).
Please send any unpublished papers, data, or brief references to your published (or in press) papers to kershawc1@udayton.edu. If you have any questions or would like more details, please contact us.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
