8. In a
study by Gonzaga et al. (2001), romantic couples answered
questions about how much they loved their partner and also were videotaped
while revealing something about themselves to their partner. The videotapes
were later rated by trained judges for various signs of affiliation.Table 2–8 (reproduced from their Table 2) shows some of the results. Explain to a
person who has never had a course in statistics the results for self-reported
love for the partner and for the number of seconds “leaning toward the
partner.”
