Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Flirting presents opportunities for extraverted behavior.
  • The impact of flirting engagement on predicting extraversion remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if extraversion scores increase after a 3-hour flirt training.
  • To compare the effectiveness of two distinct flirting training strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A two-arm randomized pre-post design was employed.
  • Ninety-six adults (18-49 years) were assigned to either problem-oriented or strengths-oriented flirt training.
  • Outcomes were measured before and 30 days after training.

Main Results:

  • Participants in both training groups reported enhanced flirting behavior.
  • Both conditions also showed an increase in self-reported extraversion.
  • The training interventions were effective in both groups.

Conclusions:

  • Flirt training interventions can potentially increase the expression of extraversion.
  • These trainings may serve as indirect methods for enhancing extraverted behaviors.
