Question

Andersen and Bem (1981) conducted a variation of the getting-acquainted telephone study by Snyder, Elizabeth Tanke, and Berscheid (1977). Andersen and Bem provided attractive and unattractive photos of men to women who interacted with men at the other end of a telephone. What would you expect happened when the women thought that the men with whom they were speaking were the men in the photos

Answer:

Hi. When searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours that had answer options, which you didn't show in this question. These answer options are in the attached image below and the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

As shown in the question, the Andersen and Bem experiment was a replication of the getting-acquainted telephone study by Snyder, Elizabeth Tanke, and Berscheid, the difference being that the Andersen and Bem experiment used photos of men and female volunteers, while the other experiment featured photos of women and male volunteers. In the two experiments, the results were similar.

In these results, the researchers noticed that volunteers tended to think they were talking to people they found attractive when looking at the photos. In this case, volunteers were more open and more likely to keep in touch with those they thought were attractive people.
