Walster and Berscheid
Students were invited on a computer-date (actually paired randomly). After date, participants asked how much they’d like to go out again. The researchers then correlated second-date likelihood with:
• physical attractiveness (rated by impartial judges)
• personality
• interests
• background variables (e.g., religion, etc)
Results: For both sexes, partner’s good looks was the ONLY variable that predicted desire to go on a second date.
