=== Walster and Walster (1971) === Walster and Walster ran a follow-up to the Computer Dance, but instead allowed participants to meet beforehand in order to give them greater chance to interact and think about their ideal qualities in a partner. The study had greater ecological validity than the original study, and the finding was that partners that were similar in terms of physical attractiveness expressed the most liking for each other β a finding that supports the matching hypothesis.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Berscheid|first=Ellen|author2=Dion, Karen|author3= Walster, Elaine|author4= Walster, G.William|title=Physical attractiveness and dating choice: A test of the matching hypothesis|journal=Journal of Experimental Social Psychology|date=1 March 1971|volume=7|issue=2|pages=173β189|doi=10.1016/0022-1031(71)90065-5}}</ref>
