Abstract

Fifty‐seven pairs of mixed‐sex dyads discussed a specified problem for ten minutes. Each participant completed a questionnaire following the discussion in which he or she indicated whether self or partner contributed more to feelings of trust and friendship, contributed more to the decision, and talked more. Both men and women selected their partners slightly more frequently than themselves as the person who contributed more to feelings of trust and friendship. By contrast, there were marked differences between men and women in their perceptions of who contributed more to the decision.
