- PubMed: 6008393
Abstract
It was proposed that an ind would most often expect to date, would try to date, and would like a partner of approximately his own social desirability. A field study was conducted in which inds were randomly paired with one another at a "Computer Dance". Level of aspiration hypotheses were not confirmed. Regardless of S's own pa, by far the largest determinant of how much his partner was liked, how much he wanted to date the partner again, and how often he actually asked the partner out was simply how att the partner was. Personality measures such as the MMPI, the Minnesota Counseling Inventory, and Berger's Scale of Self-Acceptance and intellectual measures such as the Minnesota Scholastic Aptitude Test, and hi school percentile rank did not predict couple compatibility. The only imp determinant of S's liking for his date was the date's pa.
