Document Summary
Studies show healthy families express feelings with empathy, care and understanding: no one can cause feelings in another: you can only stimulate what is there. Previous experience: every emotion is telling you something about yourself. All the processes that initiate, direct and sustain behavior. Primary drives: unlearned biological intrinsic drives: sleep, hunger, bathroom: arise from within. Drive reduction theory: how to reduse a drive. Arousal theory: need to maintain alertness both mental and physical. Social drives: extrinsic, has to do with relationships -> external rewards. 6 attracters: met when endorphins are higher, if the person likes you back, others say you look good together, pharemones: the smell, glands inside your nose, opposites attract, reminds you of your mom or primary caregiver. How the actual, imagined, or implied, presence of others influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, including our making judgments about others, attractions, conformity that motivates us to help or harm others: no single thread.
