Book Foundations of Interpersonal Attraction

Download or read book Foundations of Interpersonal Attraction written by Ted L. Huston and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations of Interpersonal Attraction is intended to provide students of interpersonal relationships with a source book that reviews, integrates, and elaborates basic material concerned with interpersonal attraction—the affectional component of social relationships. All interpersonal relationships can be characterized, in part, by the strength and nature of the affectional tie between the persons involved. The ubiquity of attraction phenomena, and the extensive data that have begun to emerge concerning its nature, antecedents, and interpersonal correlates, provided the original rationale and impetus behind the development of the book. The book contains 16 chapters organized into five parts. Part I briefly highlights the history of attraction research and lays out some central themes related to conceptualizing and researching attraction. All persons develop attachments through social interaction, but the nature and antecedents of such feelings differ depending on the age and cognitive-developmental level of the persons involved as well as on the sociocultural context in which the interaction takes place. Part II is devoted to detailing these issues. Parts III and IV consist of a series of contributions that provide conceptual frameworks for studying attraction. Part V is devoted to romantic attraction.

Book Attraction and Hostility

Download or read book Attraction and Hostility written by Anton Pelinka and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attraction and hostility find expression in almost every variety of human relationship, and have consequently provided a central theme for social psychology since its beginnings. Yet attempts to conceptualize the diverse phenomena embraced in these terms have produced theories of such wide generality that they have little explanatory or predictive force. The object of the present study is to bring precision to a vast and sprawling area by setting limits and dimensions to the phenomena and investigating them experimentally on the basis of a series of hypotheses derived from a critical analysis of current conceptual approaches, including frustration, need-satisfaction, and dissonance models. The programme of experimental studies focuses on cognitive validation-a motivation to form and maintain subjectively valid evaluations of the self and the social environment-which is shown to be a common denominator of a number of attraction and hostility measures. The results throw light on reactions to boastfulness and to self-debasement; impressions of persons who are described by biased informants; effects of self-evaluation on competitiveness, and the projection of unfavourable characteristics. The interest of the study for social psychologists derives both from its theoretical integration of a wide range of behaviour and from its contribution to experimental design.

Book Interpersonal Attraction as a Function of Attitude Similarity and Aggression

Download or read book Interpersonal Attraction as a Function of Attitude Similarity and Aggression written by Matthew Pacailler and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitude similarity effect is one of the most replicated paradigms of interpersonal attraction. Strangers with similar attitudes are found to be attractive compared to those with dissimilar attitudes. Previous research has found that this phenomenon does not occur with personality traits. Aggression may influence interpersonal attraction in a negative manner. The current study aims to understand if we find similar strangers attractive if they also have aggressive tendencies. 258 undergraduate students took a 14 item attitude survey and Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Attitude similarity was manipulated as similar or dissimilar and aggression was manipulated to be aggressive or non-aggressive. Results suggest that participants prefer a similar and aggressive stranger over a dissimilar and non-aggressive stranger. Future studies may look into mediators of similarity to understand potential reasoning for this occurrence.

Book The Physical Attractiveness Phenomena

Download or read book The Physical Attractiveness Phenomena written by Gordon L. Patzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical attractiveness phenomena permeate society with somber ramifica tions. Correspondingly, practical applications of physical attractiveness phenomena are extensive. The consequence is that almost every person can benefit from knowledge about research on physical attractiveness. Such research material provides valuable information for persons established in their careers, as well as those preparing for a career. Similarly, parents at all stages of their life cycle should be cognizant of how physical attractiveness impacts the psychological and physiological development of children. Because no one is isolated from physical attractiveness phenomena, knowledge of this material should be imperative for everyone. This book consolidates research that specifically addresses physical attractiveness. The first summary was a classic review presented over 10 years ago (Berscheid & Walster, 1974). Since then the research literature has continued to grow, but no comprehensive review has again been published. Even though research summaries have been presented in a compilation of psychological abstracts (Cash, 1980), and in a discussion of stereotyping literature (Adams, 1982), the study of physical attractiveness phenomena is due for a comprehensive account and an analysis of the extensive, divergent research.
