Abstract
A group of 21 student members of the same first-year kitchen unit in the County Coll, Lancaster U, was identified, using the criterion that all members should know all other members. The group included 3 Ms & 18 Fs, with one F serving as a stimulus rather than as a S. It was hypothesized that friends who, after 12 months' such acquaintance, had chosen to live with one another, would be found to be more similar to each other in personal constructs than they were to those with whom they chose not to live; this was confirmed (.05 level significance). It was hypothesized & confirmed (.001 level significance) that such relationships that continued 8 months would be different in type of similarity from those that had lapsed. Results are considered in terms of a stage theory of acquaintance development. Modified HA.
