ABSTRACT

This paper contains expected abstract and report of results that would confirm Minér et al’s (2016) proposed experiment on salt passage. Eighty female undergraduates completed questionnaire with snacks and drinks, along with a salt shaker and a pepper shaker available. They were asked to pass salt or pepper by another female or a male who also worked on questionnaire, but who was in league with the experimenter. These confederates had either very long nose or normal-sized (short) nose (le nez normal). Participants complied to both requests, but were slower to respond to pepper request than to salt request and to the person with the long nose. Response times were particularly slow when the request was made by male with long nose (homme avec le nez long). Implications for similarity theory and attraction theory are discussed and suggestions are made for the future research going forward.
