Define interpersonal attraction. How does anticipation of interaction influence attraction?



Interpersonal attraction is the attraction between people which leads to friendships and to platonic or romantic relationships. Interpersonal attraction, the process, is distinct from perceptions of physical attractiveness, which involves views of what is and is not considered beautiful or attractive.

Mere anticipating interaction boosts liking. Similarly, expecting to date someone boosts liking. Anticipatory liking- expecting that someone will be pleasant and compatible- increases the chance of forming a rewarding relationship.
