Physical Attractiveness and Public Intimacy of Married Couples: An Observational Study.

Harrell, W. Andrew

Social Behavior and Personality, v7 n1 p65-75 1979

Findings indicated that physically attractive couples were more likely to show public intimacy. Younger couples displayed more intimacy than older couples. Couples who were similar in age interacted more than couples who differed in age. Husband-wife attractiveness did not significantly influence intimacy. (Author/BEF)
