Document Summary

Propinquity effect: we are more likely to become close with people we see and interact with often. Involves actual physical distance + functional distance (aspects of architectural design that determine which people you cross paths with most often) Works because of the mere exposure effect. Mere exposure effect: the more exposure we have to a stimulus, the more apt we are to like it. Familiarity leads to attraction regardless of whether interactions are face-to-face or online. If you feel negatively towards someone, the more exposure, the greater your dislike. Participants liked internet partner more than when they met in person. Social compensation hypothesis online friendships are more likely to be formed by lonely, introverted people. Because of computers, propinquity may soon no longer be a prerequisite for forming relationships. Similarity: we are more likely to become close with people who are similar to us, especially in attitudes and values.
