INTERPERSONAL ATTRACTION
FACTORS
Similarity - People tend to like being around others who are similar to them in some way. The more people find they have in common with others, such as attitudes, beliefs, and interests, the more they tend to be attracted to those others
-
Proximity - refers to being physically near someone else. People choose friends and lovers from the pool of people available to them, and availability depends heavily on proximity.
-
Physical Attractiveness - physical beauty is one of the main factors that influence individuals’ choices for selecting people they want to know better, although other factors may become more important in the later stages of relationships
Triangular Theory of Love - According to Sternberg, love consists of three basic components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. A love relationship between two people can involve one, two, or all three of these components in various combinations. The combinations can produce seven different forms of love
Passion - is the physical aspect of love. Passion refers to the emotional and sexual arousal a person feels toward the other person.
Commitment - involves the decisions one makes about a relationship. A short-term decision might be, “I think I’m in love.” An example of a more long-term decision is, “I want to be with this person for the rest of my life.”
Intimacy - refers to the feelings of closeness that one has for another person or the sense of having close emotional ties to another. Intimacy in this sense is not physical but psychological.
Consummate Love - the ideal form of love that many people see as the ultimate goal. This is also the kind of love that may evolve into companionate love when the passion lessens during the middle years of a relationship’s commitment.

SOCIAL COGNITION
IMPRESSION FORMATION
Social Categorization - the assignment of a person one has just met to a category based on characteristics the new person has in common with other people with whom one has had experience in the past.
ATTRIBUTIONS
Fundamental Attribution Theory - the tendency to overestimate the influence of internal factors in determining behavior while underestimating situational factors.
Actor-Observer Bias - discrepancy between the way we make attributions about our own behavior versus others’ behavior
ATTITIDES
FORMATION
Direct Instruction - Another way attitudes are formed is through direct instruction, either by parents or some other individual.
Interaction With Others - Sometimes attitudes are formed because the person is around other people with that attitude.
Direct Contact - One way in which attitudes are formed is by direct contact with the person, idea, situation, or object that is the focus of the attitude.
Vicarious Conditioning - Many attitudes are learned through the observation of other people’s actions and reactions to various objects, people, or situations.
PERSUASION
Central-Route Processing - type of information processing that involves attending to the content of the message itself.
Peripheral-Route Processing - type of information processing that involves attending to factors not involved in the message, such as the appearance of the source of the message, the length of the message, and other non-content factors.
COMPONENTS
Behavior Component - an attitude is the action that a person takes in regard to the person, object, or situation.
Cognitive Component - an attitude is the way a person thinks about himself or herself, an object, or a situation. These thoughts, or cognitions, include beliefs and ideas about the focus of the attitude.
Affective Component - the way a person feels toward the object, person, or situation. Affect is used in psychology to mean “emotions” or “feelings,” so the affective component is the emotional component.
Cognitive Dissonance - sense of discomfort or distress that occurs when a person’s behavior does not correspond to that person’s attitudes.
