Document Summary

Dyadic relationships relationships that develop between two people. Interpersonal attraction the study of attraction or liking between two or more people: birds of a feather do flock together (similarity) and we also prefer the good looking birds (good looks) In order for two people to become lovers, friends, or acquaintances they must meet. Low disclosers are open to disclosing more if the person is an opener. Shared perceptions of beauty young infants show a preference for faces that adults have judged as attractive: when rating attractiveness there is huge agreement between individuals and across cultures. 3: we judge people with a nice odour as more attractive and we are hard on people who know they smell bad and could do something about it. Friendships: but for the most part it is the strength of the evidence that makes the decision.
