We are smiling, and this is why we are smiling.

In this study, an attractive female or male experimenter approached men as they crossed either a high, rickety suspension bridge or a low safe bridge. henever an unaccompanied male began to walk across either bridge, he was approached by a male or female assistant, who introduced themselves as a psychology researcher and asked the men to write an imaginative story in response to a picture while standing on the bridge. The assistant also told the man that if he wanted to receive information about the study’s results, he could just call them.
Dutton and Aron found that men who were approached by a woman on the suspension bridge told stories with the highest sexual imagery of all the experimental groups. These men were also more likely to call the assistant, regardless of sex, but the female research assistant got the most calls.
