Misattribution of arousal is a term in psychology which describes the process whereby people make a mistake in assuming what is causing them to feel arousal aroused . Experiment To test the causation of misattribution of arousal, Donald Dutton and Arthur Aron 1974 conducted the following experiment. This text taken from their paper blockquote Male passersby were contacted either on a fear arousing suspension bridge or a non fear arousing bridge by an attractive female interviewer who asked them to fill out questionnaires containing Thematic Apperception Test pictures. Sexual content of stories written by subjects on the fear arousing bridge and tendency of these subjects to attempt postexperimental contact with the interviewer were both significantly greater. No significant differences between bridges were obtained on either measure for subjects contacted by a male interviewer. A third study manipulated anticipated shock to male subjects and an attractive female confederate independently. Anticipation of own shock but not anticipation of shock to confederate increased sexual imagery scores on the Thematic Apperception Test and attraction to the confederate. Some theoretical implications of these findings are discussed. blockquote As the men finished the survey, the woman explained she would be available to answer any questions regarding her project, giving her phone number and name to the male subjects. Dutton and Aron wondered if the participants were more likely to call the woman because they were physically attracted to her or not. However, Dutton and Aron had to take into consideration that some factors of the men, such as the possibility of some men already involved in a relationship ..., the men who were surveyed during their cross over the bridge would have caused their arousal ... have mistaken their arousal from the bridge for the arousal they experienced from the attractive ... and Social Psychology, 30, pp. 510 517. br DEFAULTSORT Misattribution Of Arousal Category ... more details
