  • From First Sight to Friendship: A Longitudinal Social Relations Analysis of Stability and Change in Interpersonal Attraction
    2019
    Co-Authors: Mitja Back, Stefan C. Schmukle, Boris Egloff
    Abstract:

    The present study investigated Interpersonal Attraction from zero to long-term acquaintance in a real-life context. A social relations approach that distinguishes between perceiver effects (e.g., being a liker), target effects (e.g., being liked), and relationship effects (e.g., unique liking) of Interpersonal Attraction was applied. Fifty-four psychology freshmen judged each other when they encountered one another for the first time, and again after their first year of study, using large round-robin designs (1,431 dyads). Three main groups of findings were revealed. First, variability increased on all three levels of analysis, demonstrating a higher differentiation at long-term acquaintance. Second, social relations effects at zero acquaintance predicted the respective effects at long-term acquaintance, indicating rank-order stability. Third, reciprocity, assumed reciprocity, and meta-accuracy increased substantially, reflecting higher closeness and intimacy at long-term acquaintance. Results are in line with a dynamic social relations approach to stability and change in Interpersonal Attraction.

  • friendship and similarities in social cognitive and communication abilities social skill bases of Interpersonal Attraction in childhood
    Personal Relationships, 1994
    Co-Authors: Brant R. Burleson
    Abstract:

    Although researchers have examined how different forms of similarity (e.g., demographic similarity, attitudinal similarity) affect Interpersonal Attraction, little work has focused on how similarities in social-cognitive abilities and communication skills affect Attraction and relationship development. The present article suggests how the similarity/Attraction literature and filter theories of relationship development can be integrated with research on social skills and cognitive development to provide a framework for understanding how similarities in levels of social skills may affect Attraction and friendship formation in childhood. A study was carried out assessing how similarities in levels of social-cognitive and communication skills affected Interpersonal Attraction and friendship choices by children. It was hypothesized that children would be (a) attracted to and (b) more likely to form friendships with peers who had social-cognitive and communication skills similar in level to their own. Participants (92 grade school children) completed a battery of tasks providing assessments of four social-cognitive and five communication skills. Sociometric procedures were used to determine Interpersonal Attraction and friendship patterns. Results indicated that children were attracted to peers having social skill levels similar to their own. Moreover, pairs of friends had similar levels of skills related to the expression and management of emotional states.

  • Analysis and Improvement of the Measurement of Interpersonal Attraction and Homophily
    Communication Quarterly, 2006
    Co-Authors: Linda L. Mccroskey, James C. Mccroskey, Virginia P. Richmond
    Abstract:

    Three decades ago measures of Interpersonal Attraction and homophily were introduced to the field. A substantial number of research studies have been reported that employed one or more of these measures. This research was examined to evaluate their reliability and validity. It is concluded that all of these measures are reasonably reliable and valid. However, since the reliabilities have been highly variable, it was determined that improved measures should be used in the future. Second generation, revised and improved, versions of these measures are reported and recommended for future research.

  • The interrelationship of student ratings of instructors' immediacy, verbal aggressiveness, homophily, and Interpersonal Attraction
    Communication Education, 1999
    Co-Authors: Kelly A. Rocca, James C. Mccroskey
    Abstract:

    This study explored the relationships of immediacy and verbal aggression with homophily and Interpersonal Attraction in the instructional context. Immediacy was negatively related to verbal aggression and positively related to all dimensions of homophily and Interpersonal Attraction. Verbal aggression was also found to be negatively related to both dimensions of homophily and all three dimensions of Interpersonal Attraction. It is recommended that the relationship between verbal aggression and immediacy be examined in greater detail, including possible’ interactions between these variables and various instructional outcomes.
