提出了一种在实验环境中创造亲密感的实用方法。一个人是否在一段关系中，关系中特定的个体配对，以及关系发展的环境都成为了被操纵的变量。在45分钟的时间里，受试者对进行自我表露和建立关系的任务，这些任务的强度逐渐升级。研究1发现，与类似的闲聊任务相比，这些任务的互动后亲密度更高。研究2和3没有发现明显的亲密效应，尽管有足够的权力，(a)配对是否在重要态度上没有分歧，(b)配对是否被引导期望相互喜欢，或(c)是否将亲密作为一个明确的目标。这些研究还说明了解决理论问题的应用，产生了与依恋类型和内向/外向有关的具有挑衅性的初步发现。
A practical methodology is presented for creating closeness in an experimental context. Whether or not an individual is in a relationship, particular pairings of individuals in the relationship, and circumstances of relationship development become manipulated variables. Over a 45-min period subject pairs carry out self-disclosure and relationship-building tasks that gradually escalate in intensity. Study 1 found greater postinteraction closeness with these tasks versus comparable small-talk tasks. Studies 2 and 3 found no significant closeness effects, in spite Of adequate power, for (a) whether pairs were matched for nondisagreement on important attitudes, (b) whether pairs were led to expect mutual liking, or (c) whether getting close was made an explicit goal. These studies also illustrated applications for addressing theoretical issues, yielding provocative tentative findings relating to attachment style and introversion/extraversion.
