I think you might like me: Emergence and change of meta-liking in initial social interactions
This study investigated whether adolescents (N = 293, Mage = 15.48, 61.10% female) have default expectations for meta-liking at zero acquaintance and how these judgments are updated during initial group interactions.

Love me, because I rely on you: Dependency-oriented help-seeking as a strategy for human mating

Our hypothesis was confirmed across nine studies (N = 2,535). For help-seekers, a mate-seeking motivation could ...
