“…The post hoc attenuation interpretation is consistent with the results of two studies by Streufert (1965Streufert ( , 1966. He found that subjects' negative evaluations of deviant (i.e., attitudinally dissimilar) group members and their positive evaluations of conforming (Le., attitudindy similar) group members were accentuated by decreases in the hypothetical interaction distance between the subject and the respective group members.…”

Previous research on physical proximity as an index of attraction based on attitude similarity has been limited to semifixed feature spaces. The present study tested the similarity‐proximity relationship in a dynamic space. Female subjects' attraction to a female confederate was manipulated by means of false attitude information. The subjects then briefly interacted with the confederate in a dynamic space. Subjects' spatial behaviors were not directly related to attitude similarity‐dissimilarity or to attraction. The implications of these findings for the generality of the similarity‐proximity relationship and for research on nonverbal communication are discussed.

“…Evidence supporting this proposition has been provided by Schachter (1951), Festinger and Thibaut (1951), Howard (1959), Festinger et al (1952), Back (1951), Gerard (1953, and Lott and Lott (1961). Related findings were reported by Streufert (1965), who found attitudes toward a deviant became more unfavorable as interaction distance decreased and attitudes toward a conforming member became more favorable as interaction distance decreased.…”

“…Willis (1964c) reported that both independents and anticonformers tended to be disliked. Other support for the general proposition that deviates received less approval or more disapproval has been reported by Hollander (1961), Streufert (1965), Emerson (1954), Byrne (1961), andStrickland, Jones, andSmith (1960).…”

Theoretical and research studies of social conformity are reviewed and integrated through a revised social exchange model. The concept of utility is discarded from the basic economic model in favor of a revealed preference, and this approach is then applied to the existing work on social conformity and approval. The behavior of subjects in conformity and approval studies is assumed to reflect a preference in the manner done in economics. Predictions made from the exchange model are found to be consistent with the existing knowledge about conformity. It is concluded that exchange theory provides a useful vehicle for data integration and generation of new hypotheses about social conformity. The model allows for the process of social conformity to be considered in dynamic terms, treating the influence source and influenced person simultaneously.

“…on six semantic differential scales that were presented. Among such were two evaluative scales which had been found to correlate most highly with the good-bad scale and Intel-correlate most highly with each other in previous research by Streufert (1965Streufert ( , 1966. The scales used were "bright-dark" and "awful-nice."…”

Effects of conceptual structure, failure, and success on attribution of causality and interpersonal attitudes.

Thirty-two subjects of simple and 32 subjects of complex conceptual structure participated as decision-making dyads in an experimental simulation. The dyads were exposed to increasing failure or increasing success. The effect of failure and success on subjects' estimates of causality for their "current situation" and its effect on interpersonal attitude within the group were investigated. It was found that subjects take increasingly more credit for success as success increases, but do not take similar credit for increasing failure. It was found that attitudes toward other group members become more favorable when the group is credited with success. Attitudes remain constant when causality attributions show constancy (failure). The effect of success and failure on attribution of causality, and with it the effect on attitudes, was more pronounced for simple than for complex subjects.
