Document Summary

Attraction and intimacy: chapter 14: little research done in this area, often looks at what happens when there is a lack of love rather than the benefits of love. Facts about attraction: physical proximity is important and plays a large role in attraction and relationship formation, we like those who are physically attractive, we like others who are similar to us: age, preferences, beliefs, etc. Classical conditioning: pavlov, conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of bells, unconditioned stimulus unconditioned response. This association exists without learning: conditioned response nothing. People can become paired with positive feelings if there are present during enough positive experiences. This is important at the beginning of a relationship because when you meet under positive circumstances, you associate them with these positive feelings: empirical evidence: griffitt"s study. Split participants into 2 different rooms with different temperatures- one hot and one normal.
