Snyder Et Al

Snyder et al. not only had male "perceivers" rate their partners' personality characteristics, they also had "observers" judge the women's conversational interaction with the male subjects. This was done to:

A) provide a check on the manipulation of the target women's attractiveness.
B) make sure that the male "perceivers" did not make mistakes in their ratings.
C) see whether male "perceivers" made their initial assessments of the female partners' personality based on stereotyped beliefs about physically attractive women.
D) see whether the "perceivers" initial impressions of their partners initiated a sequence of behaviors in which the female partners acted in ways that confirmed the "perceivers" stereotypes.
