Sometimes you want to make an effort to befriend a new acquaintance or become a better friend to existing pals.
led by Arthur Aron at Stony Brook University, college students were paired off and told that they should spend 45 minutes getting to know each other better.
Experimenters provided some student pairs with a series of questions to ask, which got increasingly deep and personal. For example, one of the intermediate questions was"How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?" Other pairs were given small-talk-type questions. One question was"What is your favorite holiday? Why?"
At the end of the experiment, the students who'd asked increasingly personal questions reported feeling much closer to each other than students who'd engaged in small talk. You can try this technique on your own as you're getting to know someone. For example, you can build up from asking them about their last trip to the movies to learning about the people who mean the most to them in life. When you learn intimate information about another person, they are likely to feel closer to you and want to confide in you in the future.
On the other hand, if you expect someone to be friendly toward you, they are more likely to behave in a friendly manner toward you.
