Upon Arriving at College and Meeting Your Roommate, You Sigh

Question 22

Multiple Choice

Upon arriving at college and meeting your roommate, you sigh mightily as you listen to his endless droning on about how wonderful his girlfriend back home is. "I miss her so much and I can't wait to see her during Thankiving break," he comments. Knowing a bit about social psychology and the rules of interpersonal attraction, what are you most likely to think to yourself?


A) This relationship is doomed, because the rule of proximity says that people are most attracted to those who are nearby, not far away.
B) I'm going to have to listen to this all year, because relationships that have some distance usually get stronger in the long run.
C) I wish he'd realize that everything he's saying makes it sound like they are too similar for each other, and people who date others with whom they share a lot of similarities usually end up breaking up.
D) This relationship will never work out because research suggests that students going away to college change so much that they become unrecognizable to those with whom they formerly had relationships.
