Why (and When) Straight Women Trust Gay Men: Ulterior Mating Motives and Female Competition
Developing Latent Semantic Similarity in Initial, Unstructured Interactions: The Words May Be All You Need
We investigated how same-sex strangers develop latent semantic similarity (LSS)-that is, how they come to use words in the same way-in their initial interactions. In a previous study, Babcock, Ta, and Ickes found evidence suggesting that dyad members' talking, looking, and acknowledging are important behaviors for the development of dyad-level LSS. Using a different sample of initial interactions, we replicated the major findings of Babcock et al…
Behavioral validation of the rudeness scale: Evidence from retrospective and prospective research
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to behaviorally validate the Rudeness Scale (RS), a self-report measure of the propensity to verbally abuse strangers, using both a retrospective design (Study 1) and a prospective design (Study 2). Design/methodology/approach – In Study 1, participants (n=280) completed an online survey that contained the RS and a retrospective checklist measure that assessed how often they had engaged in specific confronta…
Latent Semantic Similarity and Language Style Matching in Initial Dyadic Interactions
In the present study, we examined two indices of semantic similarity (i.e., latent semantic similarity [LSS], language style matching [LSM]) to determine their respective roles in initial, unstructured dyadic interactions. Transcripts of the dyad members' conversations were used to compute the LSS and LSM indices, which were then correlated with various dyad-level behaviors and perceptions. The results suggest that LSS develops out of a highly in…
