亲和力是一种熟悉、吸引和相似的复杂混合体，它通过培养人与人之间的亲密感来加强社会关系。我们在一门大型大学课程中研究了学生之间亲和力的发展。四名长相相似的女性假扮学生参加了课堂。为了创造纯粹接触的条件，他们不与任何其他学生互动。每位女性参加了不同数量的课程（0、5、10或15）。学期结束时，向学生们（N= 130）展示了这些女性的幻灯片，并测量了每个女性的熟悉度、吸引力和相似性。单纯的接触对熟悉程度的影响很小，但对吸引力和相似性的影响很大。因果分析表明，暴露对熟悉度和相似性的影响是通过其对吸引力的影响介导的。讨论了亲和力在几种社会关系中的潜在作用。
Affinity is a complex blend of familiarity, attraction, and similarity that strengthens social relations by fostering a sense of closeness among people. We studied the development of affinity among students in a large college course. Four women of similar appearance attended class sessions, posing as students in the course. To create conditions of mere exposure, they did not interact with any of the other students. Each woman attended a different number (0, 5, 10, or 15) of class sessions. At the end of the term, students (N= 130) were shown slides of the women and measures of each woman's perceived familiarity, attractiveness, and similarity were obtained. Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity. Causal analyses indicated that the effects of exposure on familiarity and similarity were mediated by its effects on atrraction. The potential role of affinity in several kinds of social relations is discussed.
