The document summarizes three experiments from Dutton & Aron's 1974 study that tested the hypothesis that males experiencing a strong emotion (fear) would find an attractive female more sexually appealing than males not experiencing fear. Experiment 1 found that males crossing a shaky suspension bridge rated a female interviewer as more sexually attractive than males crossing a safer bridge. However, subjects were not randomly assigned. Experiment 2 addressed this issue and replicated the results. Experiment 3 induced anxiety through electric shocks and also found that males experiencing fear found an attractive female confederate as more sexually appealing. The study provided evidence supporting the link between emotions and increased sexual attraction.
