Strangers with similar attitudes are found to be attractive compared to those with dissimilar attitudes. Previous research has found that this phenomenon does not occur with personality traits. Aggression may influence interpersonal attraction in a negative manner. The current study aims to understand if we find similar strangers attractive if they also have aggressive tendencies. 258 undergraduate students took a 14 item attitude survey and Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Attitude similarity was manipulated as similar or dissimilar and aggression was manipulated to be aggressive or non-aggressive. Results suggest that participants prefer a similar and aggressive stranger over a dissimilar and non-aggressive stranger. Future studies may look into mediators of similarity to understand potential reasoning for this occurrence. ix I. INTRODUCTION Interpersonal attraction can be influenced by many factors. One of the most established influential factors is attitude similarity. When people have similar attitudes, it is possible to believe that disputes never occur; however, the reality is friends fight. Friends can openly disagree with each other, argue and even resort to hitting another over a dispute. When friends act aggressively, there is a possibility of continuing the friendship. It is under this notion that aggression is likely to be another factor that influences interpersonal attraction. Why is it that we choose friends with aggressive tendencies or in other words do we sometimes find them to be attractive despite being aggressive? Attitude Similarity and Interpersonal Attraction Byrne's interpersonal attraction research and theory has a potential explanation for this dilemma (Byrne, 1961). Byrne suggests that the relationship between two individuals can be predicted in basis of attitude similarity. The more similar we are to a person, the more we will find them attractive. Byrne's first experiment sought to understand the strength of the similarity effect as well as differences based on the importance of the items on the attitude survey. In Byrne's research, attitude surveys were administered to participants to fill out. Participants were told to come back two weeks later to evaluate another survey completed by a student in another class. In fact, these surveys were not completed by students, but by Byrne and his assistants. Participant surveys were used to manipulate a fake stranger's survey that portrayed one of four conditions; similar attitudes, dissimilar attitudes, similar on important attitudes and similar on unimportant attitudes. Important 1 and unimportant items were determined by a pilot study run prior to the experiment. Items deemed important consisted of religion and premarital sex. Unimportant items consisted of attitudes towards music and television programs. Participants were handed back their manipulated survey and instructed to report their evaluations of the stranger in 6 categories using a 7-point scale. When participants were presented strangers with similar attitudes, participants would report higher attraction. Participants that received dissimilar surveys reported to be less attracted to the stranger. This demonstrated that we prefer people that share similar attitudes to our own (Byrne, 1961). The similarity effect is a simple phenomenon at first glance, however, there is some controversy over why we become more attracted to individuals that share similar attitudes. Byrne’s explanation suggests a mediating effect of positive affect. That is, we associate the stranger with positive feelings or emotions (Bryne & Clore, 1970). Aronson and Worchel (1966) explained that the similarity effect was mediated by inferred attraction. When we are rating attraction for similar strangers, we assume that they will like us back. The opposite can be true; we dislike dissimilar people because we believe they would not like us as well. More recently, Montoya and Horton (2004) have proposed that we cognitively evaluate the stranger. When the stranger's survey was manipulated to be similar, participants believe them to be better leaders and more successful overall. This cognitive evaluation has been referred to as feelings of respect towards the stranger in some research (Singh, Chen & Wegener, 2014). Previous work has sought to understand which mediating variables are associated with the similarity effect. The answer might not be as simple as there being only one 2 variable. Research by Singh, Yeo, Lin, & Tan (2007) measured all three of these mediating variables at the same time. Attitude similarity had a positive effect on positive affect, inferred similarity, and respect. Each of these mediating variables also had a positive effect on attraction. The strength of the mediating

  • Student Social and Emotional Development and Accountability: Perspective of Teachers
    Student Social and Emotional Development and Accountability: Perspective of Teachers National Network of State Teachers of the Year Elizabeth J. Glennie, Ph.D. Jeffrey A. Rosen, Ph.D. Rebecca Snyder, Ed.D. Maryann Woods-Murphy, Ed.D. Katherine Bassett, M.Ed. April 2017 We at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year (NNSTOY are most pleased to share with you the latest in our series of Research Reports. In this report, we focus on measures of social and emotional learning and their efficacy in educator evaluation. Using multiple approaches – literature review and three focus group panels – we examined what the field says about these measures and well as what expert teachers – State and National Teachers of the Year and Finalists for State Teacher of the Year think. I worked for twelve years at Educational Testing Service in the area of performance based assessment across a continuum of educator practice. One of the first maxims that I learned was: ‘…not everything that is important can be measured and not everything that can be measured is important.’ A second was ‘…we must not use assessment measures for pur- poses for which they have not been developed or validated.’ I also had the privilege of working with a team of expert research scientists, including Dr. Richard Roberts, to examine the efficacy of assessing social and emotional characteristics and their mallea- bility in educators. So, this study is of particular interest to me. Can we actually measure social and emotional characteristics, and, are they malleable? In other words, can we teach things like empathy, caring, persistence? Should we include measures of these characteristics in teachers as part of consequential evaluation? As expert educators, we deeply desire accountability measures.

Summary Zest is a positive trait reflecting a person’s approach to life with anticipation, energy, and excitement. In the present study, 9803 currently employed adult respondents to an Internet site completed measures of dispositional zest, orientation to work as a calling, and satisfaction with work and life in general. Across all occupations, zest predicted the stance that work was a calling (r ¼.39), as well as work satisfaction (r ¼.46) and general life satisfaction (r ¼.53). Zest deserves further attention from organizational scholars, especially how it can be encouraged in the workplace. Copyright # 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Your work is to discover your work, and then with all of your heart to give yourself to it.—the Buddha Introduction Recent years have seen a widespread call for the study of work organizations in which people can be well and do well (Cameron, Dutton, & Quinn, 2003; Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, & Damon, 2001; Luthans, 2003; Wright, 2003). The emergence of the positive perspective within organizational psychology has brought new attention to the venerable topic of work satisfaction (Hoppock, 1935). Satisfaction with the work that one does is seen not just as a contributor to good performance and increased profitability but as a worthy end in its own right (Heslin, 2005).

O objetivo desta investigação foi verificar o papel da música na atração interpessoal, escolha de parceiros e relacionamentos afetivos. Cinqüenta adultos não-músicos escolheram possíveis parceiros através de classificados pessoais, descreveram as características de ouvintes de 7 gêneros musicais diferentes e responderam a questões referentes ao uso da música em seus relacionamentos afetivos. Embora a música não tenha tido um efeito direto sobre a atração interpessoal e a escolha de parceiros, ela aparentou ter alguns efeitos indiretos nas relações interpessoais. Alguns estereótipos de personalidade associados aos gêneros musicais foram encontrados, sugerindo que o gosto musical pode influenciar na escolha de parceiros. Além disso, emergiram quatro categorias relacionadas ao uso da música no contexto das relações interpessoais: objetivos de excitação, fundo acústico, facilitadora de atividades que promovem a aproximação e artefato mnemônico. Os dados desta investigação reforçam a idéia de que a música exerce um papel importante nas relações interpessoais. Palavras-chave: cognição social, música, estereótipos.

  • Current Research in Social Psychology
    CURRENT RESEARCH IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Volume 5, Number 17 Submitted: July 25, 2000 Resubmitted: August 4, 2000 Accepted: August 25, 2000 Publication date: August 25, 2000 ON PREDICTING RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION FROM JEALOUSY: THE MODERATING EFFECTS OF LOVE Jeremy W. Dugosh University of Texas at Arlington ABSTRACT Researchers in the interdisciplinary research area of close relationships have recently had a renewed interest in relationship satisfaction and its causes. In some of the several recent studies that have looked at the determinants of relationship satisfaction, a positive link between jealousy and relationship satisfaction has, somewhat counterintuitvely, been found. Other studies have likewise shown a negative relationship between jealousy and relationship satisfaction such that as one's level of jealousy increases, his or her satisfaction decreases. In an effort to clarify this seemingly conflicting evidence, data was collected from a sample of 134 currently dating heterosexual participants. The participants completed self-report measures of relationship satisfaction, jealousy, and love. Moderated multiple regression analyses were conducted on the data. It was found that level of jealousy alone is a fair predictor of relationship satisfaction. However, this relationship is qualified by a significant interaction between jealousy and love. In other words, jealousy can predict relationship satisfaction, but this relationship depends on how much one loves his or her partner. Implications of the results and potential problems with the study are discussed. [254] --------------- [255] INTRODUCTION In recent years, researchers in the interdisciplinary field of close relationships have increasingly focused their attention on satisfaction in romantic relationships and its causes (Hendrick and Hendrick 1989; Rusbult 1980 1983; Rusbult, Verette, Whitney, Slovik, and Lipkus 1991;Wess and Hyman 1990; Yovetich and Rusbult 1994).
