Abstract
Abstract Female college students in the United States were given the option of working with a similar or dissimilar peer on a set of difficult math problems. The peer was identified as either an English or a math major. Potential partners with relevant expertise (math majors) were rated as liked better than the English majors. However, this finding occurred only on the liking item of the Interpersonal Judgment Scale (IJS). There was no effect of academic major on the working-with item or the traditional composite measure. These results were interpreted in terms of self-presentation and may indicate a limitation of the IJS as a method of measuring attraction.
