 (1981) investigated this phenomenon and found that those in an unrelated aroused state will rate an attractive confederate more highly than a rater without arousal.The researchers also found that aroused raters would dislike an unattractive confederate more than those without arousal.Donald Dutton and Arthur Aron's (1974) study to test the causation of misattribution of arousal incorporated an attractive confederate female to wait at the end of a bridge that was either a suspension bridge (that would induce fear) or a sturdy bridge (that would not induce fear).
