Learning Objective 3 Takeaways 学习目标 3 摘要

  • Four of the primary determinants of initial attraction are propinquity, similarity, physical attractiveness, and reciprocal liking. These factors influence the development of friendships and close relationships.
    四个影响初始吸引的主要因素是邻近性、相似性、外貌吸引力和相互喜欢。这些因素影响友谊和亲密关系的发展。
  • Propinquity is how frequently we’re exposed to another person.
    亲近度是指我们接触另一个人的频率。
    • In one study, researchers found that residents in an apartment building tended to like the people they repeatedly encountered the most. In addition to demonstrating the effect of propinquity on initial attraction, these findings highlight the mere exposure effect, a phenomenon in which repeated exposure to something causes people to like it.
      在一项研究中,研究人员发现公寓楼居民往往喜欢他们反复遇到的人。除了表明邻近性对初始吸引的影响外,这些发现还突出了仅仅暴露效应,这是一种重复接触某物导致人们喜欢它的现象。
    • In another study, researchers found that the perceived attractiveness of research assistants varied depending on how often they attended a class. The more frequently the assistants attended the class, the higher their attractiveness ratings were among their classmates, demonstrating that frequent exposure to someone or something increases likeability.
      在另一项研究中,研究人员发现,研究助理的感知吸引力取决于他们参加课程的频率。助理参加课程越频繁,他们在同学中的吸引力评分就越高,这表明频繁接触某人或某物会增加其受欢迎程度。
  • We tend to like people who are similar to us more than those who are less so. In fact, similarity is one of the strongest predictors of attraction.
    我们倾向于更喜欢与我们相似的人,而不是不那么相似的人。事实上,相似性是吸引力最强的预测因素之一。
    • Similarity in attraction means having various aspects in common, such as personality traits, attitudes, hobbies, values, and physical attractiveness.
      相似之处意味着在多个方面有共同点,例如性格特征、态度、爱好、价值观和外表吸引力。
    • Studies have found that perceived similarity may predict liking even more than actual similarity does.
      研究发现,感知相似度可能比实际相似度更能预测喜好。
    • Similarity in emotions and personality is important for relationship satisfaction. 
      情感和个性的相似性对关系满意度很重要。
  • Physical attractiveness is a major determinant of friendship and attraction. It has a substantial influence regardless of variations in individual characteristics, such as age, profession, and social context.
    外貌吸引力是友谊和吸引力的主要决定因素。它对个体特征的变化,如年龄、职业和社会环境,具有重大影响。
    • Facial symmetry influences ratings of beauty. Studies show that more symmetrical faces are rated as more attractive.
      面部对称影响美丽评分。研究表明,对称度更高的面部被认为更吸引人。
    • People with average features—rather than unique ones—are considered more attractive.
      具有普通特征的人——而不是独特特征的人——被认为更有吸引力。
    • People tend to form relationships with partners who they perceive as matching them in attractiveness, known as the matching hypothesis
      人们倾向于与他们认为在吸引力上与自己相匹配的伴侣建立关系,这被称为匹配假设.
    • Studies show that both women and men strongly and equally base their impressions of others on physical attractiveness.
      研究表明,男性和女性都同样强烈地根据他人的外貌吸引力来形成印象。
  • Reciprocal liking is another strong determinant of friendship and attraction. When someone likes us, we are more likely to like that person back.
    相互喜欢是友谊和吸引力的另一个强有力决定因素。当有人喜欢我们时,我们更有可能回喜欢那个人。
    • Reciprocal liking can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, leading us to behave in a certain way (e.g., treat someone nicely) and, in turn, compelling the other person to respond similarly (e.g., treat us nicely).
      相互喜爱可以创造一种自我实现的预言,导致我们以某种方式行事(例如,友好对待某人),进而迫使对方以类似的方式回应(例如,友好对待我们)。
