Document Summary
Facts about attraction: physical proximity plays a large role in attraction and relationship formation, we like those who are physically attractive, we like others who are similar to us. Classical conditioning: a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone. Conditioning & attraction: reinforcement theorists and the three facts regarding attraction. It is pleasant to look at attractive people we associate the pleasant feeling with the attractive person. Similar people confirm our views that makes us feel good and those feelings become associated with the person. Social norms: there are two different sets of rules that govern giving and receiving benefits in relationships (clark & mills, 1993) Exchange relationships benefits are given with expectation of receiving comparable benefits in return.
