Description
Under the direction of Dr. Bonnie Bowers
The objective of this study is to understand how background colors influence an individual's perception of another person's interpersonal attractiveness, along with how these factors affect an individual's social support giving and seeking behavior for each presented image. Participants (N = 278) consented to take a 10-minute online survey. The background colors used were red and blue with varied saturation levels (light, medium, and dark) and a white control background. Key findings revealed a strong positive correlation between Interpersonal Attraction and Social Support Seeking for all background colors and saturation lightness levels, r(268) = .611, p < .001. The findings prompt further research into the effects of background colors on these measures.
