Dutton and Aron (1974) conducted a study in which an attractive female confederate (researcher) approached male participants and asked them to complete a questionnaire. Some participants were approached after crossing a suspension bridge, others while on the suspension bridge. The female researcher told all male participants she was available for questions should they have any following the research, and provided her phone number. What did the results of this study reveal?
◦ The number of male participants calling the female interviewer was equal, regardless of what point on the bridge they were interviewed.
◦ More men interviewed while on the suspension bridge called the attractive researcher asking for a date than those who were interviewed after reaching the end of the bridge, due to misattribution of physiological responses to attraction to the female interviewer.
◦ More men interviewed after walking the length of the suspension bridge called the attractive researcher asking for a date than those who were interviewed while on the bridge due to their enhanced ability to focus on the female researcher after leaving the bridge.
◦ The majority of the male participants correctly attributed their physiological arousal as resulting from walking across a suspension bridge.
