Editing Interpersonal attraction (section)

===Exposure effect===
The [[exposure effect]], also known as the familiarity principle, states that the more a person is exposed to something, the more they come to like it. This applies equally to both objects and people.<ref name=miller2006 /> A clear illustration is in a 1992 study: the researchers had four women of similar appearance attend a large college course over a semester such that each woman attended a different number of sessions (0, 5, 10, or 15). Students then rated the women for perceived familiarity, attractiveness and similarity at the end of the term. Results indicated a strong effect of exposure on attraction that was mediated by the effect of exposure on familiarity.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Moreland | first1=Richard L. | last2=Beach | first2=Scott R. | title=Exposure effects in the classroom: The development of affinity among students | journal=Journal of Experimental Social Psychology | date=May 1992 | volume=28 | issue=3 | pages=255–276 | doi=10.1016/0022-1031(92)90055-O}}</ref> However, exposure does not always increase attraction. For example, the social allergy effect can occur when a person grows increasingly annoyed by and hypersensitive to another's repeated behaviors instead of growing more fond of his or her idiosyncrasies over time.<ref>{{cite journal | last1=Cunningham | first1=Michael R. | last2=Shamblen | first2=Stephen R. | last3=Barbee | first3=Anita P. | last4=Ault | first4=Lara K. | title=Social allergies in romantic relationships: Behavioral repetition, emotional sensitization, and dissatisfaction in dating couples | journal=Personal Relationships | date= April 2005 | volume=12 | issue=2 | pages=273–295 | doi=10.1111/j.1350-4126.2005.00115.x}}</ref>
