Segal (1974) Study - (answers)an interesting example of this phenomenon while studying
friendships among Maryland State Police trainees. After six months of classes at the police
academy, the police trainees were asked to identify their three closest friends at the academy.
Friends nominated by the trainees tended to have last names starting with the same letter of the
alphabet as the trainee. Segal realized that since the trainees were assigned to seats in their
classrooms alphabetically, they would of course spend more time in close proximity to students
with similar names. Close classroom seating turned out to be a better predictor of friendship than
a trainee's religion, hobbies, age, or marital status

declined casual sex offers 100 percent of the time; men only declined casual sex offers 25 to 31
percent of the time. These findings dramatically demonstrated that men and women differ in their
mating behaviors, with women appearing sexually prude compared to men
Clark and Hatfield study findings - (answers)- about half of each gender said yes to the date
- no women said yes to sex
- men were even more likely to say yes to sex than a date
Chartrand and Bargh (1999) study - (answers)- (C = confederate: confederate is an actor who
participates in an experiment as a subject along with the participant(s), but is not the one being
observed or measure for they are working for the researcher. Their role varies by the type of
experiment being conducted and the objective of the researcher)
- (P = Participants)
-C and P engaged in interaction
-C mimicked P's body language (or not)
-How much did P like C?
-Results show that P liked C more when the body language was mimicked
- aka the Chameleon effect
- In interpersonal relations, often times mimicking another's body language can increase our
likeability
- we also mimic others when attracted to them
