A total of 1300 people participated in the study.Scientists have come to the conclusion that real sympathy and people's ideas about it are weakly connected. They suggested that it might depend on the context. For example, a person will attend a fun party and it will seem to him that he likes the people who were there too. In fact, in another situation, he would not like such people.

The study also showed that those traitswhat people called cute were not necessarily present in those who became their romantic partners. For example, many participants sympathized with confident people, but did not register on a dating site where photos of confident people were posted.
