[00:00:00]In the first condition of the experiment, uh the student confederate goes out and just agrees with everything the other person says on the date, and an attraction rating is secured at the end, and people are found moderately attractive in that condition.

[00:00:12]In the second condition of the experiment, the student confederate is sent out on the date and is instructed to disagree with everything the other person says. So, it goes a bit like this.
