Question

The T-Shirt Study Long before the Intemet made it possible to "meet" others in cyberspace via online dating sites, people relied on other strategies: blind dates, friends recommendations, and personal ads. Alan Gross (1983) and his colleague India McHale created an ingenious low-tech study of the first meeting between prospective dates, combining strategies of two popular sources of information: parties and personal ads. The 200 participants for this study were single, straight college men and women, who first provided information that a prospective date might want to know, such as their college major, religion, sports and music preferences, drinking and smoking habits, and personality traits. The par- ticipants attended a mixer, with each donning a T-shirt (yellow for women and blue for men) custom-printed with his or her own "personal ad" and identifying number. The ad included the student's first name, his or her major, and some personal information/preferences, something like the following: (19) Alex Psychology Soccer, Rock, Jewish Movies, Sense of humor! Each participant's goal was to speak with as many participants of the other sex as possible and to identify possible dates. Each was required to interact for no more than five minutes and then move on. After an hour of excited number seeking, participants made their final rankings of those they would most like to date. They were permitted to exchange contact information if they hit it off during their five-minute meetings PhotoGrid
