Computer Dance Study (Walster, 1966)
1. Students bought tickets for a computer dance where information they gave about themselves would provide an “ideal match”
2. An unseen observer marked the attractiveness of each student that gave their data
3. Students were randomly assigned a partner
4. After spending two hours with their partner, students were asked to complete a questionnaire about them
5. Findings: those who were physically attractive were liked them most. Men asked out their partner is they found her physically attractive, regardless of how attractive they themselves were
