Getting Acquainted: The Relationship of Self-Disclosure and Social Attraction to Positive Affect
Abstract
This study examined the association between social relationship facilitation and affect. Young adults who did not know one another engaged in brief, get-acquainted conversations. Participants rated their positive affect and negative affect before and after conversations. After conversations, participants also rated their self-disclosure, social attraction to partners, and contribution to the conversation relative to their partners. In support of the hypotheses, positive affect increased from before to after conversations, and greater self-disclosure and social attraction predicted the increase in positive affect. A greater contribution, however, did not predict the increase in positive affect but did predict the significant decrease in negative affect. These results support Baumeister and Leary's (1995) proposed need for social relationships in which positive affect accompanies relationship facilitation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
