Perceptions of Hispanic and African-American Couples at the Friendship or Engagement Stage of a Relationship
In an attempt to comprehend the perceptions held about racially similar and dissimilar couples, four issues were examined in this study. First, differences in perceptions based on the couple's racial composition were investigated. It was hypothesized that perceptions about the couple, its members, and its relationship quality would be more positive for same-race dyads than mixed-race couples. Second, we examined the impact of intimacy level on pe…

Empathic accuracy in a clinically relevant setting
This study addressed 3 questions regarding empathic accuracy in a clinically relevant setting. First, does the empathic accuracy of a perceiver improve with increased exposure to a target individual? Second, can empathic accuracy be enhanced by providing the perceiver with feedback about the target's actual thoughts and feelings? Third, are there stable individual differences in empathic accuracy that generalize across different targets? The resu…
Shyness and physical attractiveness in mixed-sex dyads
Male and female strangers' shyness and physical attractiveness strongly affected their own and their partners' behavior during initial, unstructured interactions. First, dyad-level measures of behavioral involvement and perceived interaction quality were independently predicted by the men's shyness and the women's physical attractiveness. Second, shy men exerted avoidant control over mutual gazing by denying their female partners (but not themsel…
Naturalistic social cognition: Empathic accuracy in mixed-sex dyads
The research paradigm that Ickes and his colleagues developed for study of naturalistic social cognition was used to explore phenomenon of empathic accuracy in initial, unstructured interactions of 38 mixed-sex (male-female) dyads. The results indicated that an important aspect of empathic accuracy—content accuracy—could be measured reliably (a = .94) with procedure used. The results further indicated that content accuracy was, to a large extent,…
