Document Summary

Chapter 13 liking, loving, and close relationships. Dyadic relationships relationships that develop between two people: first dyadic relationship is formed between an infant and primary caregiver. Birds of a feather flock together: similarity rather than difference breeds liking and attraction for another. Interpersonal attraction the study of attraction or liking between two or more people. A relationship can only develop between two people after they meet. Propinquity nearness or proximity in physical space, which creates the opportunity to meet another person: physical proximity plays an important role. Spatial ecology the physical layout of the buildings and the distance separating different buildings, rooms, and other spaces. Living in close proximity to another does not guarantee you will become best friends. Why: do things that bother you play stereo too loud. Propinquity can easily produce dislike just as much as it can start a good friendship. Festinger: liked neighbours were the ones who lived close.
