Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2024

The correct answer is (C) Reciprocity of liking.

Explanation:

The “reciprocity of liking” refers to the tendency of people to like someone who expresses that they like them. It is a psychological phenomenon where mutual liking fosters positive feelings and relationships. When we know someone likes us, we are more likely to feel positively toward them in return.

– (A) Prejudice: This refers to a preconceived opinion or bias, often negative, toward a person or group. It is unrelated to liking.

– (B) Attractiveness: While physical or personal attractiveness can influence liking, it is not the same as the general tendency of people to like each other.

– (D) Discrimination: This involves treating people unfairly based on their group membership and is unrelated to liking.
