The article presents a study conducted to determine whether loud noise, an increasingly common stressor, would have a similar effect on interpersonal attraction. Since previous research found a positive relation between intolerance of ambiguity (IA) and dislike for disagreement, the study also investigated the hypothesis that the effects of similarity upon attraction are stronger for subjects who are high on IA than for those who are low. The hypothesis concerning IA was tested separately for noise and control conditions. Differences in attraction for high and low similarity others shown by the eight highest scoring men and the eight highest women on the IA scale were compared to the lowest scoring men and women. The hypothesis was confirmed in the control condition. Mean differences in attraction were 4.19 for high IA subjects and 2.00 for low IA subjects. However, in the noise condition low IA subjects became indistinguishable from high IA subjects, and were significantly more responsive to degree of similarity than under the more normal control condition. Both sexes showed the same trends. As with the above sex difference, it is of potential importance to determine whether these effects occur with other types of stressors. |
