Attraction1)Situational Factors

• Physical proximity of the people involved.• Proximity not only provides the opportunity for attraction but also

provides the motivation: people work especially hard to like those who they expect to interact with.

2)Physical Factors• Beautiful people tend to have more friends, more dates, more sex, and

more fun than the rest of us do. • More friends lead to more social opportunities, which lead to better

social skills.• Appearance is so powerful that it even influences how mothers treat

their own children.• Although men and women are equally influenced by attraction, men are

more likely to admit it.• People tend to approach, date, and marry someone who is about as

attractive as they are.

Attraction Continued

3) Psychological Factors • People’s inner qualities – their personalities, points of view, attitudes,

beliefs, values, ambitions, and abilities – play an important role in determining sustained interest.

• We marry people with similar levels of education, religious backgrounds, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, and personalities.

• Similarity is so attractive to us because - 1. People similar to us can instantly agree on issues.

2. We are more confident that our attitudes and beliefs are correct, when other people share the same.3. If we like people who share the same attitudes and beliefs, we expect them to like us back.

• Being like is a powerful source of attraction, we are especially attracted to people who like us and do not like anybody else.

Relationships• Selecting and attracting a mate is a

prerequisite for reproduction. • In most cultures committed long-term

relationships are signified by marriage, and ours is no expectations. The probability of marrying by age 40 is currently 81% for American men and 86% for American women.

• People who get married usually think they will stay married, and a whole lot of them are wrong. For every two couples who get married, one of them gets divorced. There are many different reasons for divorce, but one of the reasons for divorce is that many couples don’t have a clear understanding what love is

Two Types of LoveCOMPANIONATE LOVE:

• which is an experience involving affection, trust, and concern for a partner’s well-being.

• love is what keeps people together; it takes some time to get started, grows slowly, and need never stop growing. In other words, the love we feel early in relationships is not the same love we feel later.

PASSIONATE LOVE:

• Which is an experience involving feelings of euphoria, intimacy, and intense sexual attraction.

• love is what brings people together; it has a rapid onset, reaches its peak quickly, and begins to diminish within just few months.

Social Exchange

Social exchange is the hypothesis that people remain in relationships only as long as they perceive a favorable ratio of costs to benefits (Homans, 1961; Thibaut & Kelley, 1959) Page 387 in the book.

The first influential point of social exchange is that people tend to not get into a relationship that won’t have a high cost benefit ratio. If it does not benefit them to be in the relationship, why be in it in the first place?

Social Exchange Continued

Next people will want to their cost benefit ratio to be high, but never too high, because if it is too high for one person than the other person has the opposite scenario, thus having less of a benefit. This could be downfall for the relationship as a whole because it sets the other person up to possibly loose enjoyment because there is not as much of a benefit for them in the relationship.

The final part is that relationships are investments in which people pour themselves and their resources into the relationship to gain something desirable for themselves, it’s a give and take scenario. You give your time, money, and affection to be with someone and in return expect the same back. When both parties are contributing all of themselves in the relationship, the relationship will be more successful. It all goes back to the cost benefit ratio, if their now benefit for one of the two individuals in the relationship, than it is more likely for that person to fall out of the relationship.

Marriage

Research has consistently shown that married people live longer, have more frequent sex and earn several times as much money as unmarried people do.

• The average age that an American is likely to be married by the age of 27 years old.

• They have about 1.8 children

• They consider both their partner and children to be a source of joy and happiness.
