Answer 2

The answer would be: "Mere exposure effect".

Explanation: The mere exposure effect is when an individual feels more preference for something that is familiar for them (They have been exposed to that before) than to a completely strange thing (something they haven't been exposed to).

This is what happened to Jocelyn, she couldn't stand her co-worker at first because it was the first time they saw and had to be around each other, but then, after some amount of time being exposed to one another, Jocelyn finally got over the topic and got used to her co-worker.
