  1. Individual Interaction Chapter 18

  2. Interpersonal Attraction (Friends) • On a sheet of paper write the name of one of your good friends (can be someone from when you were younger). • On the back, write the name of another friend. • Under each friend write down some of their characteristics as a friend, how you became friends, what you have in common, etc. • Hang on to the list, we’ll come back to it.

  3. Interpersonal Attraction (Friends) • Social psychology – the study of how our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behaviors are influenced by our interactions with others. • Questions social psychologists might ask: • Why did we choose the friends we have? • What attracted us them in the first place? • Are these friendships helpful or harmful?

  4. Anxiety and Companionship • When we are afraid/nervous, we seems to want someone there to relate to • Examples: • “Misery loves company” experiment- Higher anxiety = more companionship 2. 2nd grade – 1st day of Student Council

  5. Comparing Experiences • Test Days – how many of you ask someone who has the class earlier in the day about the test? Why? • 1st Day of School – how many of you ask your friends what they are going to wear? Ask about certain teachers? • We compare experiences to know that we aren’t alone in what we are going through. • What if the women in the previous experiment had talked to a friend before going in?

  6. Interpersonal Attraction (Friends) • How You Choose Friends • Proximity • Reward Values • Physical Appearance • Approval • Similarity • Complementarity

  7. Proximity • Physical proximity – the distance of one person to another person • We choose friends based on location. • Probably most of your friends go to this high school (or went). You all (for the most part) live relatively close to each other. • Example – my neighborhood friends.

  8. Reward Values • We make friends based on what they can do for us (is this bad?). • Stimulation value – ability of a person to introduce new things • Utility value – ability of a person to help you accomplish something • Ego-support value – ability of a person to provide support and encouragement

  9. Physical Appearance • Varying degrees of physical attractiveness (Dane Cook) • Style of clothes/hair • Self-Assured/Poised vs. Insecure

  10. Approval • Sometimes we just need friends, and we’ll be friends with whoever will accept us. • How can this be a good/bad thing?

  11. Similarity • Common interests – sports, religion, educational values • Agreement on major issues – makes for easier conversation

  12. Complementarity • You complete me. • Opposites attract? • Sometimes you have friends that on paper don’t look like you would match up, but you work. • One friend provides what the other lacks.

  13. Assessment • Look back at your two friends that you chose that the beginning of class. • See what your reasons are for being friends with that person. • Is it based on proximity? Similarity? Both? None?

  14. Personal Relationships • Parent – Child Relationships • Love Relationships

  15. PARENT – CHILD RELATIONSHIPS • Erik Erikson – psychologist - believed that the relationship of parent and child at an early age influences people’s expectations about relationships with others later on in life. • How have your relationships with your parents influenced your relationships with other people?

  16. PARENT – CHILD RELATIONSHIPS • Adolescence is usually a time when children and parents have a hard time getting along • Generational identity – theory that people of different ages tend to think differently about certain issues • What is considered rebellion in one generation is usually trendy in the next.

  17. Love Relationships • Two types of love. • Passionate – intense, sensual; great excitement, but yet there is the fear that it may go away at any moment (adding to the intensity) • Companionate – friendship, trust; more stable love because it includes commitment

  18. Greek Words For Love • Eros – passionate, physical love • Ludus – love played as a game and not taken seriously • Storge – slow-growing love based on affection and friendship • Pragma – practical love • Mania – highly emotional love (similar to a roller coaster ride) • Agape – selfless, giving love

  19. Marriage • The chances of being happily married are greater when you marry someone from similar background, education, religion. • They are also better if your parents had a good marriage, if you had a good childhood, and you have a good view on marriage as a whole.

  21. Social Perception • First Impressions • Attribution Theory • Non-verbal Communication

  22. First Impressions • We tend to make initial judgments on people based on physical appearance. • Primacy effect – the tendency to form opinions on others based on first impressions • Examples-1. “Guest speaker.”2. Student from my first year.

  23. First Impressions • What was your first impression of me? • Impressions I gave off in high school • Schema – knowledge or set of assumptions that we develop about any person or event • Stereotype – a set of assumptions about people in a given category based on half-truths or nontruths

  24. Attribution Theory • A collection of principles based on our explanations of the causes of events, other people’s behaviors, and our behaviors • Internal/dispositional attributions- based on personal characteristics • External/situational – characteristics based on a given situation • Example at Woody’s.

  25. Attribution Theory • Fundamental attribution error – tendency to attribute others’ behavior to dispositional causes (internal) and discount situational factors contributing to their behavior • Actor-observer bias – tendency to attribute one’s own behavior to outside causes but attribute the behavior of others to internal causes • Self-serving bias – a tendency to claim success is due to our efforts, while failure is due to circumstances beyond our control (good or bad)

  26. Non-verbal Communication • Non-verbal communication – the process through which messages are conveyed using space, body language, and facial expression • Body language – the way you carry your body that communicates a certain message
