randomly assigned (believed to be paired)
Followed up the dance with a questionnaire - 19What did the Computer Dance study find?The dates were not influenced by intelligence or personality.
Physical attractiveness was more important than the fear of rejection when it came to requests for a second date. - 20What can be concluded from this study?This goes against the matching hypotheses.
However, a later study where the participants meet their dates before the dance as participants preferred dates who matched their attractiveness levels - 21Evaluation points (3)The matching hypothesis is associated with physical attractiveness. However, individuals compensate for their lack of attractiveness with other desirable traits.

seven months after testing, couples asked how close they felt to each other now compared to the beginning of the study - 26what did Kerchkoff and Davies conclude?attitude in similarity was the most important factor up to 18 months
long term couples complimenting each others needs became important.
