 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT Quarter 2 | Building and Maintaining Relationships Personal Relationship : Attraction, Love, and Commitment  Making time for one another is vital to keep the relationship healthy and the process of give and take are great ways to sustain a relationship (Miller, 2008). Any relationship needs to be dealt with mindful and careful consideration of things, whatever kind of relationship it might be. Keeping a good relationship with people will help you grow in some ways.  ATTRACTION the action or power of evoking interest, pleasure, or liking for someone or something; and a quality or feature that evokes interest, liking, or desire. – Merriam Webster dictionary  ATTRACTION a positive connection between two or more people that share something in common, like interests, likes/dislikes, or desires. Some qualities may catch your attention, and which could spark a certain kind of relationship. Key components of attraction that may be the reason for someone liking others  Physical Attractiveness Attractive people draw out a more positive first impression. Initially, people tend to be influenced by what they see. Even the younger ones prefer to look at faces those adults consider attractive rather than at opposite ones (Langlois, et.al. 1991).  Physical Attractiveness Our perception of beauty, though, differs from one another since it can be influenced by culture, educational background, social status, etc. Everyone has his/her idea of what or who is attractive based on physical appearance.  similarity Many researches support that similarity causes attraction. Oftentimes, people classify other people based on information they already knew about them.  proximity Proximity pertains to physical distance with other people and it is related to functional distance (how often people interact or communicate with each other).  proximity The more you encounter or interact with the person, the more you allow yourself to get to know him/her better which leads to a better relationship like friendship or intimate relationship. Most likely, the people always near you just like your classmate or neighbor has a big tendency to become your friend.  Reciprocity When feelings with someone are being reciprocated or returned in the same way as you do. The attraction is something that may happen in different ways, with different people, and in different circumstances, and may lead to a much deeper connection or relation with others.  LOVE a. strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties; b. attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers; c. affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests Meriam Webster dictionary  LOVE “love is one of the important components of a complex neurochemical system that allows the body to adapt to highly emotional situations”. Sue Carter and Stephen Porges  LOVE Some elements are responsible for the deep and strong bonds of a person with others that resulted to love.  LOVE One of the accountable chemicals for the connection of two individuals like between mother and child inside her womb and even after giving birth is Oxytocin (Keverne, 2006).  LOVE It is a peptide also known as the love hormone, a female reproduction hormone, which helps to deepen the connection between mother and child through breastfeeding.  LOVE It is transmitted to the brain tissue of the child that allows and creates a strong bond between them.  LOVE Together with Oxytocin, Endorphin, Serotonin, and Dopamine are so-called “feel good” chemicals that promote strong connections/bonds between people since it releases during happy moments.  LOVE Another element that promotes love is Vasopressin. It is also a peptide that conveys the behavior of an individual’s social engagement. One of its roles is to produce a behavior of developing stable, loving, and long-term relationship with others.  LOVE The serotonin production of newly-in-love individuals increases up to 40% just like with the brain of a drug addict. And, when a person experiences heartbreak, the brain processes just like an addict quitting a heroin habit. The studies of Cohen 2007;Fisher et. al, 2009  LOVE Since love has its different types, we could say that it may happen any time, to any individual, at a different level with people around us like friends, classmates, neighbors, family members, etc. The quality of a relationship is how both partners relate to each other.  Three (3) attachment styles we display when we interact with our parents, our friends, and our romantic partners (Eastwick &Finkel,2008)  Secure Attachment Style a healthy style wherein the children used to receive care and easily communicate with the parents since they feel that they are always available to listen and keep them safe.  Anxious Attachment Style When children are lacking or seeking more affection from parents because they are too dependent on them. Avoidant Attachment Style It is when children are distant to the parent/s, sometimes due to unpleasant experiences. COMMITMENT It is a long-term relationship between individuals. A more complex relationship that resulted to increasingly turn to each other not only for social support but also for help in coordinating activities, remembering dates and appointments, and accomplishing tasks. - (Wegner, Erber, & Raymond, 1991). COMMITMENT Many people say that for you to be able to have a successful relationship, you should know your similarities and differences; understand your partner’s needs and desires; and invest time and effort to work things out and last for a lifetime. COMMITMENT refers to the feelings and action that keep partners working together to maintain the relationship - Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani and Dr. Hammond Tarry Any relationship will last through the cooperation of both parties, without this, the relationship will not last and ends with breaking up.  COMMITMENT Commitment is a choice, a long and not an easy process that needs to be participated by you and your partner. Thank you! Resource Page Use these elements in your Canva Presentation.
