Does attitude alignment predict attraction? Would you like a stranger more who shifts her/his attitudes to more closely align with yours? In pairs, participants (N = 77) discussed social issues about which they disagreed and received false feedback on whether the partner engaged in attitude alignment (shifted her/his attitudes toward the participant's attitude) following discussion. Participants also received false feedback about the proportion of similarity to the partner on a set of issues (i.e., 25%, 50%, or 75%). Participants reported greater attraction to partners who engaged in attitude alignment and who were more similar. Moreover, similarity and attitude alignment interacted. Similarity predicted attraction when attitude alignment did not occur, but did not predict attraction when attitude alignment did occur. Finally, partner attitude alignment led to participant attitude alignment, and perceived reasoning ability mediated the attitude alignment-attraction relationship.
态度一致是否能预测吸引力？你会更喜欢一个与你态度更一致的陌生人吗？在配对实验中，参与者（N = 77）讨论了他们存在分歧的社会问题，并在讨论后收到关于他们的伴侣是否进行了态度一致（调整了他们的态度以更接近参与者的态度）的错误反馈。参与者还收到了关于在一系列问题上与伴侣的相似程度的虚假反馈（即 25%、50%或 75%）。参与者报告说，他们更吸引那些进行了态度一致并且更相似的伴侣。此外，相似性和态度一致存在相互作用。当态度一致没有发生时，相似性预测了吸引力，但当态度一致发生时，相似性并没有预测吸引力。最后，伴侣的态度一致导致了参与者的态度一致，并且感知的推理能力在态度一致与吸引力的关系中起中介作用。
