hard-to-get phenomenon  

Définition

  • The hard-to-get phenomenon refers to the notion, held across diverse cultures and espoused by sources ranging from Socrates to Ovid to the Kama Sutra, that individuals experience greater attraction to a person who is or seems difficult to attract than to a person who is or seems easy to attract. Although theorizing on the hard-to-get phenomenon dates back to ancient times, the phenomenon did not receive empirical attention until the 1970s.
