intuitive statistics
there was a study done about the connection on how couples or other romantic relationships have trust, commitment, and affection towards each other and the amount of self-disclosure each person gives to the one another. there are several criteria to the study. one important is how the couple met. if they met before talking over the internet, they are more likely to reveal personal information due to the higher levels of trust. according to rempel, holmes, & zanna (1985) the best way to be able to trust someone is to be able to foretell or calculate how another person will act or react to any given information. in other words, we are more probable to release information about ourselves if we can predict the behavior of the other person.

brunswik believed that people learn over time to weight cues that will predict the criterion y in a particular environment where they operate and receive feedback. if, in a particular environment where the judge normally operates, x1 and x2 are highly related, one can learn to predict y using a subset of the cues to predict the criterion without loss of accuracy. but if the same person is put in a new situation with different ranges of the cues and differebt correlations among them, performance in predicting the criterion will suffer. this is similar to saying that admissions officer a might have a hard time using what she had learned from experience at her selective employer if now attempting to predict freshman gpas of applicants at b's university. brunswik believed similar problems arise when researchers create experiments where the independent variables are not distributed in a way that matches the participants' local environments—for example, by making independent variables uncorrelated or by holding all but one variable constant.
