Preferred term

bogus stranger paradigm  

Definition(s)

  • The bogus stranger paradigm was developed by the social psychologist Donn Byrne to study the role of attitude similarity and dissimilarity in interpersonal attraction. The method was originally devised to allow experimenters to vary the degree of agreement and disagreement between a hypothetical (bogus) other and a participant in order to examine their effects on liking and disliking.
