The Impacts of Ingratiation on Interpersonal Attraction
and Interpersonal Relation of Hong Kong Youth
Kwok Kuen TSANG
Yi LIAN
There is not much literature about the ingratiation of youth. This limits our understanding about the
effects of ingratiation to the interpersonal attraction and interpersonal relations of youth.
Consequently, the overall development of the studies and theories in this field are limited. The
purpose of this study is to investigate this issue with Hong Kong youth through an online questionnaire
survey. The results show that ingratiation cannot enhance the interpersonal attraction of youth. It is
not necessary for ingratiation to improve the interpersonal relation of youth through enhancing their
interpersonal attraction. In addition, this article also gives suggestions to improve the social life of
the youth.
Keywords: ingratiation; interpersonal attraction; interpersonal relation
