Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness

Instructions to Subjects Included With Task Slips Packet

This is a study of interpersonal closeness, and your task, which we think will be quite enjoyable, is simply to get close to your partner. We believe that the best way for you to get close to your partner is for you to share with them and for them to share with you. Of course, when we advise you about getting close to your partner, we are giving advice regarding your behavior in this demonstration only, we are not advising you about your behavior outside of this demonstration.

In order to help you get close we've arranged for the two of you to engage in a kind of sharing game. You're sharing time will be for about one hour, after which time we ask you to fill out a questionnaire concerning your experience of getting close to your partner.

E-PRIME, abolishing all forms of the verb "to be," has its roots in the field of general semantics, as presented by Alfred Korzybski in his 1933 book, Science and Sanity.

Example of identity use would be "The Cat is George", "The Cat is a feline" or "Luke, I am your father" and predication would be "I am tired" and "The Cat is furry", "Luke is brave" etc.

Bourland pioneered in demonstrating that one can indeed write and speak without using any form of "to be," calling this subset of the English language "E-Prime." Many have urged the use of E-Prime in writing scientific and technical papers. I would say it helps when writing emails to mailing lists to help avoid miscommunication. 

For example, instead of the sentence "the film was good", and the speaker might instead use E-Prime and say "I liked the film" or "the film made me laugh". The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience
