What is a Personal Relationship

Even before language was invented, prehistoric humans

were already interacting through many forms of behavior.

Survival is the primary reasons why we have a need to

belong.

What is a Personal Relationship

This is the type of relationship with a person and which

can only have meaning to this person.

It involves a degree of commitment to another person.

How are Attachments Developed

The very first meaningful relationship every human being

encounter is with one’s mother.

Our relationships in the future are shaped to a large

extend by our attachment to our parents.

Ainsworth’s Attachment Theory

1. Secure Attachment – will grow up to have more stable

relationships.
2. Avoidant Attachment - the child senses rejection
which leads to detachment.
3. Anxious-Ambivalent Attachment – when the caregiver
is inconsistent, the child may develop mixed feelings.

Fisher’s Three Stages of Falling in Love

1. Lust – driven by sex hormones, testosterone and

estrogen
2. Attraction – involves neurotransmitters such as
dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin.
3. Attachment – long-lasting commitments are
exchanged.

Other Reasons for Attraction

1. Transference – sometimes when we meet people, we

are reminded of someone we know in the past.
2. Propinquity effect – we develop a sense of familiarity
with people who are close to us.
3. Similarity – we are often attracted to like-minded
persons.

• Physical Attractiveness – connotes positive health and
reproductive fitness
