Answer to Question 1

Informal evidence suggests that opposites may in fact attract, and that we sometimes find people attractive who are very different from ourselves. However, direct tests of these propositions have failed to support complementaritiesdi fferences that, when combined, compliment each otheras determinants of attraction. Overall, there is little if any evidence for the suggestion that opposites attract (although there are exceptions to this general rule, such as the complementarities of dominance and submissiveness).

Answer to Question 2

The repeated exposure effect is the finding that frequent contact with any mildly negative, neutral, or positive stimulus results in an increasingly positive evaluation of that stimulus. The more we are exposed to a stimulus, the more favorably we view it. This effect can be subtle but powerful; research shows that it occurs for people, places, words, objects, and nearly everything else. It is prevalent among all ages and even occurs in infants.
