A rather interesting article :) A laboratory experiment for love. SDU has lessons to learn. Gives me the chills to think that match making might one day come down to behavior influencing.
Excerpts from estephen at emf.net
Excerpt :
"Here's how it's done in a lab: Take two people who have never met, put them in a room together for 90 minutes and instruct them to exchange intimate information, such as their most embarrassing moment and how they would feel if they lost a parent.
Have them stare into each other's eyes for two minutes without talking. At intervals, bring in a researcher who says, "OK, tell the other person what you already like about him.""
What are the risks?
Excerpt :
"Self disclosure is tricky, Aron admits. It has to be reciprocal. If you're the only one pouring out your heart, your date is likely to recommend a good shrink. However, mutual disclosure creates a connection on a deeper level and shows the other person that you trust him or her.
By talking intimately, his subjects risked being embarrassed, and risk is another factor in forging an immediate attraction.
The bigger the risk, the faster you become attracted. My friend Michael fell in love with his wife on their second date when he spun the car around on an icy road in front of a bus.
"We ended up in a ditch. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. It was a very dear moment," he recalled.
I am not suggesting going to these lengths. However, if the thought doesn't absolutely terrify you, you might consider a river rafting trip or scuba diving lessons. You can never tell whose hand you will end up with in a moment of panic."
