Based on either packet of info, each participant was asked to predict how much she would enjoy her own speed date (in scientific terms, her "affective reaction"); after the actual date, each woman filled out her own score on the 1-to-100 enjoyment scale. It turns out that when women used surrogation info from a fellow student to make their own predictions, they were significantly more in tune with their real-life enjoyment. Compared with browsing...
