Three types of information about others have been used in studies of attractiveness: external (physical properties, sociological status, etc.); impersonal (evidence about the other's attitudes to events or objects); interpersonal (evidence about the other's characteristic descriptions of or attitudes about other individuals). These three types of information are, in terms of the distinctions made earlier, of crucially different significance and status as informers about the other's cognitive structure and content: hence it is predicted that they have different weights as attractive stimuli. A factorial experiment manipulating the three types of information x two levels of similarity showed that information type interacted significantly (P 0.05) with the similarity manipulation, as predicted. The results are interpreted as indicating the likely processes of inference made by strangers about one another as a means of determining future profitability of further acquaintance.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"25 1","pages":"229-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81274757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People in the streets of Cambridge, England, were given an opportunity to dishonestly accept a coin from an experimenter under two conditions of utility (low or high) and two conditions of cost (low or high). Utility was varied by the value of the coin, and cost was varied by the experimenter's statement. Thirty-one of the 84 subjects falsely claimed the coin. In agreement with the prediction, more dishonesty occurred in the low cost condition, but, contrary to expectations, the utility manipulation had no overall effect on dishonesty. Cost and sex of experimenter interacted significantly, in that the cost manipulation affected dishonesty only with the male experimenter. It was also found that high utility tended to produce greater dishonesty in the low cost condition than in the high cost condition.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"76 1","pages":"139-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83294569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
