What is It

Affection is one of human beings' greatest emotions. There is a lot of passion, but more are conveyed in
an intimate partnership with a compatible partner. Romantic attachments are one of the most
important aspects of life for these people, and a source of tremendous fulfilment. However, the will to
create a human link seems innate, which develops our ability to build a healthy and loving relationship.
Some suggest that early childhood begins to develop the capacity to create a healthy relationship with a
nanny who regularly satisfies the child's food, treatment, comfort, protection, stimulation, and social
interaction needs. Such partnerships are not destinies but are hypothesized to establish deeply
embedded relationship patterns with others. The end of a relationship is however also a source of
significant mental trauma.

What is personal relationship?

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP- is a form of relationship closely linked to a person and which can only be
important to that person.

Kinds of Personal Relationship

o PRIVACY and INTIMACY- are two attributes describing personal relationships and level of commitment
to another person/s

o IMPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP- commitment to an organization like a business entity, a principle or

purpose.

o ATTRACTION- it is a force that unites people and can grow into an attachment which eventually leads
to commitment.

Everybody knows when they go into a room packed with friendly faces, and while they seem open and
able to speak, there is only one face standing out from the crowd. There may be a lot of people in the
room who are physically attractive, but you do not seem to keep your eyes away from one person.

Module 1

Here are some of the attractions you need to remember:

1. Physical attraction is based on instinct.

Most people would claim that they are attracted to someone after a few seconds of their first
encounter. April Masini, who also gives ABC Entertainment News relation advice, wrote books like Date
Out of Your League, suggests that females are naturally attracted to men who exude affection and
passion and seem to live a fascinating life. Heterosexuals tend to be attracted to men with traditionally
masculine features including muscle body, square jaw, straight nose, and narrow eyes, physically or
emotionally. These physical properties often include higher testosterone levels, common among "alpha
males." Alpha males display a particular personality trait, including directness, determination, and
power.

2. Physical attraction does not necessarily lead to a good relationship

The first physical attraction is a very poor indicator, according to Dr. Margaret Paul, an expert in
relationship who has a Ph.D. in psychology, about how well a relationship performs that can lead to a
feeling about abandonment.

3. Platonic attraction is important.

You also consider how trustworthy he or she seems to be and how loving he or she is, in addition to how
physically attractive your future partner is. Is he calling, for instance, when he says he's going? Does she
answer the phone if you call her? Is he going to find little things and compliments? When you talk about
movies or sports you like, does she even listen to you? The building block of deep emotional links are
also common interests.

Having a common family history may also be helpful. Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, a professor of philosophy and
author of The Subtlety of Emotion, suggests that your relationship may benefit from physical proximity,
living close to your interest in love. Believe it or not, it seems that simply living in the same city or
neighborhood makes people experience more platonic attractions with each other.

4. The unattainable is attractive.

We just want something that cannot be achieved. According to Helen Fisher, Ph.D., Professor at the
Rutgers Department of Anthropology and Chief Scientific Advisor to the Chemistry online dating service,
it will still be attractive to someone we consider "out-of-the-league" because they are ideal. As a way to
force ourselves to strengthen both our body appearance and our social status, we could be producing
these frustrating crushes. At the same time, loving yourself and being patient is the most important
thing, because it is impossible to genuinely love someone else without loving yourself first.

8 CO_Q2_Personal Development SHS

Module 1

Attraction

Proximity and similarity contribute to relationship-building, and reciprocity and self-disclosure are
critical for sustaining relationships. Yet, what characteristics do we find attractive about a person? We
don't shape relationships with someone who lives or works in our vicinity, so how do we determine
which particular individuals we want as friends and partners? Researchers have documented several
characteristics which are attractive to humans. People differ in what they consider attractive, and
cultural influences on attractiveness. Nevertheless, research indicates that some commonly attractive
characteristics in women include wide eyes, high cheekbones, a thin jaw line, a slim build (Buss 1989),
and a lower waist-to-hip ratio (Singh 1993).

Likewise, attractive features of men include being tall, having broad shoulders, and a small waist (Buss
1989). Both men and women with high levels of facial and body symmetry are commonly seen as more
attractive than asymmetric individuals (Fink, Neave, Manning and Grammer 2006; Penton-Voak et al.
2001; Rikowski and Grammer 1999).

In future female partners, social characteristics that people consider attractive include comfort,
empathy, and social skills; in males, the desirable characteristics include competence, leadership
abilities, and work skills (Regan and Berscheid 1997).
While humans want physically attractive mates, this doesn't mean we are looking for the most attractive
person possible. In fact, this observation has led some to propose what is known as the matching
hypothesis that asserts that people tend to choose someone they see as their equal in physical
attractiveness and social desirability (Taylor et. al. 2011).

People weigh the attractiveness of a potential partner against the probability of succeeding with that
individual. If you believe you are particularly unattractive (even if you are not), you would probably be
looking for partners that are fairly unattractive (i.e. unattractive in physical appearance or behavior).

Typically, we love the people we make relationships with, but the sort of love we have for our families,
friends, and lovers is special. Robert Sternberg (1986) suggested that love has three components:
affection, passion, and dedication. These three components form a triangle that distinguishes many
forms of love: this is known as the triangular love theory by Sternberg.

Love is sometimes characterized by intimacy which is the sharing of details and emotions and intimate
thoughts.

Sternberg (1986) states that a healthy relationship will have all three components of love – intimacy,
passion, and commitment – which are described as consummate love.At different stages of life,
however, different aspects of love may prevail more. Other types of love involve affection, described as
intimacy, but not passion or commitment. Infatuation is love without engagement or intimacy. Empty
love means engagement without passion or intimacy. Companionate love,

9 CO_Q2_Personal Development SHS

Module 1

characteristic of close friendships and family relationships, is affection and loyalty but there is no
passion. Passion and affection describe romantic love, but no engagement. Lastly, fatuous love is
characterized by passion and devotion but no intimacy, such as a long-term sexual love affair.

Understanding the Acceptable and Unacceptable Means of Expressing Attractions Toward The Opposite
Sex

You have understood well the essential traits of a good relationship. This time, allow yourself to open
your mind to see the difference between acceptable and unacceptable means of expressing attractions
towards the opposite sex. In this way, you will also have a chance to unlearn the bad practices that you
have in showing how attracted you are to someone.

Filipino society has set standards for terribly unacceptable way to demonstrate someone's attractions
against those who are practically acceptable. Perhaps you are asking why it is important to understand
and realize these things.

Filipino culture is bound to believe that a decent display of someone's feeling is also a must to be
accepted by society. It is a major disappointment that anyone who fails to follow this standard will be
classified as poorly educated by society or the community, or how one’s parents failed at parenting.

Because of the Filipinos’ culture of decency, the Republic of the Philippines seriously believed that the
issues of people's means of expressing attractions to the opposite sex or gender can be legally
addressed. The Republic Act (RA) 11313, otherwise known as the Safe Space Act, intentionally prohibits
indecent and unlawful acts of expression. This RA broadens the scope of the RA 7877 or the Anti-
Harassment Act of 1995. This law recognizes that sexual harassment occurs in the workplace, education,
and training environments, and penalizes persons who have authority, influence, and moral status in
those institutions who commit prohibited acts of sexual harassment. While the Safe Space Act addresses
these gaps in our legal framework by recognizing that sexual harassment can be committed between
peers. A good example of this are: a subordinate to a superior, a student to a teacher, or a trainee to a
trainer.

What Makes a Healthy and Acceptable Expression of Attractions?

As you are happy to see and spend time with your partner, you know that you are in a stable
relationship. No partnership is ever perfect, and when basic conflicts arise, causing tension with others,
you will certainly feel that the relationship is unstable for a moment. There are many factors that lead to
the growth and maintenance of healthy and acceptable relationships, including:

1. Mutual respect. Will he or she get to know how smart and why you are? Will your partner listen to
you when you say you are not happy doing something and then instantly back off? Respect in a
partnership means that each partner trusts and respects the weaknesses of each other and will never
question them.

10 CO_Q2_Personal Development SHS

Module 1

2. Trust. You talk to a classmate, and your partner wanders about. Is he going to lose his cool, or is he
going to keep walking, because he knows you are never going to cheat on him? Often it's normal to get a
little jealous; jealousy is a common feeling. But how a person reacts when he feels jealous is what
matters. Though you trust each other, there is no guarantee that you will have a healthy relationship.

3. Honesty. This one goes hand-in - hand with confidence, because when one of you is not honest, it is
difficult to trust another. Have you ever caught your partner in a total lie? Like when she told you that
she / he was occupied with homework, but it turned out that she / he was talking to friends? You're
going to have a lot of difficulty believing the next time she / he says she / he has to work and the trust
will be on dangerous foundations.

4. Support. It is not only in difficult times that you should be supported by your partner. Usually, when
the whole world is falling apart, we thought that this is the only time we need support from others. Even
in your best, you still need support and when time gets tough, your significant other should still be
there. For instance, your partner should be there when you find out that your parents are breaking apart
and he/she should also rejoice with you when you get a great score.

5. Fairness/Equality. You need to have a give and a take in your relationship. Do you take turns deciding
what kind of food to eat? Are you going out with your friends as a partner as much as you stay out with
your friends? If it is not a fair balance, you will know. When a relationship transforms into a power
struggle, with one party trying to get his or her way all the time, changes get really fast.

6. Separate identities. In a stable relationship, everybody has to make compromises. But that does not
mean you should have the feeling that you are losing yourself. You both had your own lives when you
started out (families, friends, interests, hobbies, etc.) and that should not change. You should not
pretend to like something that you do not like, or give up seeing your mates, or give up something that
you love. And you should also feel free to build new abilities or interests, make new friends, and move
forward.

7. Good Communication. Are you going to speak to each other and share the feelings that matter to
you? Don't keep your emotions locked up because you are afraid your partner does not even need to
hear about it. And if you need some time to think about something before you are ready to talk about it,
you will be provided some space by the right person to do that.

10 Things That Are Unacceptable in Any Relationship

Every relationship has its ups and downs, and we all have to compromise a little to make them work. But
if your partner consistently does the following, it might be time to think twice.

11 CO_Q2_Personal Development SHS

Module 1

1. Cheating

If you are in a committed, monogamous relationship, cheating should be out of the question. Many
people will say infidelity is a deal-breaker. However, others will decide to stay with their partners after
an affair, and, under the right circumstances, it is possible to heal the relationship. If you do decide to
maintain the relationship, your partner says they will never cheat again, and they do, it’s likely that they
will continue to break your trust.

2. Putting you down

No one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself. Whether blatant or subtle, if your partner
criticizes your looks, your hair, your laugh, your intelligence, or anything, they’re not worth your time.

3. Not supporting your dreams

In a relationship, you should be each other’s cheerleaders. When you feel discouraged, they should tell
you all the things you’re doing right. If you feel like running out of options, they should ask what he can
do to help you reach your goals.

4. Controlling

You should have a life outside of your relationship, away from your partner. It is not their place to tell
you who you can see, when you can see them, what to eat, or how to dress. This controlling behavior
can be a warning sign of physical abuse and should be taken seriously.

5. Lack of communication

You will never be able to grow together if you don’t discuss your wants and needs. You both need to feel
comfortable openly expressing your feelings, good and bad, otherwise you might begin to resent each
other.

6. Unnecessary sacrifices
 Compromise is a must in a relationship, but if you feel like you’re giving up everything, while your
significant other is sacrificing nothing, something’s not right. Have you heard someone say they got rid
of their pet because their fiancé didn’t like cats? Or quit their job, left their family, and moved to other
places for someone who wouldn’t do the same for them? These should serve as your red flags or
warning signs that there is something wrong in how your significant other treats you.

7. Unreliability

When your cellphone is not working, you need advice, or you’ve just had a bad day and need a hug, do
they come to your aid? If they’re not there for you when you need them the most, think twice: why are
you with them?

12 CO_Q2_Personal Development SHS

Module 1

8. Forgetting the memorable day

There’s a stereotype that men always forget anniversaries and birthdays. Whether that’s true or not, it’s
not okay. It’s normal for something to slip our minds, but your man (or woman) should remember those
little things that are important to you.

9. Self-destruction

Sometimes we fall for people who are in rough situations. Though it can be difficult, it’s important to be
there for your loved ones during these times and encourage them to seek help if necessary. However, if
they are engaging in destructive behavior that is negatively affecting you, and they refuse to seek help,
you might want to consider leaving. There is only so much you can do, and it is not your fault that they
are not willing to help themselves.

10. Not caring about friends and family

When you want to build a life with someone, you have to accept every part of them, including the
people they care about. Your partner not making an effort to get to know your loved ones can cause a
major strain on your relationship.

TIPS TO HELP MANAGE YOUR EMOTIONS

Emotions can have a significant influence on physical health, and it is vital to cope effectively with the emotions that
follow the ups and downs of daily life.

1. Use your emotions and bodily responses to recognize when you are under stress.

A racing pulse, dry mouth, aching stomach, tight muscles, or muscle pain may all indicate that something is amiss in your
emotional world.

2. Write down your thoughts and feelings about what is stressing you.

Take a daily inventory of your emotions. By writing down what you feel, you may be able to identify patterns of emotional ups
and downs. It is also important to write down the thoughts that go with your feelings.

3. Control whatever aspect of the stress that you can.

Life presents many situations every day, and you should not view them in black and white terms- those you can
control versus those you cannot.

Look for the shades of grey- the elements you can control. When you know what is going to happen in a situation, your
nervous system can gear up to handle it.

4. Do not make mountains out of molehills.

When difficult situations arise, it is important to assess how bad they really are before going into panic mode. If you want to live
a low-stress life, do not get all worked up over trivial matters.

5. Redefine the Problem.

Your attitude to stress can affect your health more than the stress itself can. If the problem is out of your control, recognize that
and redefine the problem to determine which parts you can avoid or handle.

6. Develop behaviors that distract you from stress.

Anything you do that distracts you from your stress for a while is good.

For example, you could get out in nature and take a walk, work in the garden, or perhaps learn to fly fish.
7. Reach out to a friend or a family member.

Social relationships are good for your health and reaching out to someone about your stress can improve your outlook. If you
are lacking social networks, you may find it easiest to meet others during a shared activity

8. Exercise Regularly.

Regular exercise is good for your physical and emotional health. Even moderate exercise can help reduce stress.

9. Meditate and Relax.

Meditation has a wide variety of health benefits, and stress reduction is one of the big ones.

There is no single way to instantly reduce stress or manage your emotions. By using a variety of tools and methods,
you will be able to calm your mind and regain your emotional health.

Emotions are a crucial part of our lives, adding richness and meaning to our experiences. They come in positive forms like joy
and love, and negative ones like sadness or anger. Emotions have been studied in psychology for a long time, and they play a
big role in shaping who we are, how we relate to others, and how we behave in social situations. Whether it's the happiness
from a game or the sadness from a loss, emotions color our life experiences and make them memorable. They remind us of
our identity and guide us in our interactions with others.

C. Abstraction

Understanding the acceptable and unacceptable means of expressing attraction towards the opposite sex is crucial in Filipino
society due to cultural norms emphasizing decency. Failure to adhere to these standards may lead to societal judgment and
perceptions of poor upbringing. Recognizing the significance of proper expression, the Republic of the Philippines has enacted
the Safe Space Act (RA 11313) to address indecent and unlawful acts. This law expands on the Anti-Harassment Act of 1995
(RA 7877) by acknowledging sexual harassment beyond professional settings, including instances between peers, such as
subordinates to superiors, students to teachers, or trainees to trainers. The Safe Space Act aims to bridge legal gaps and
penalize individuals of influence who commit acts of sexual harassment in various environments, promoting a safer and more
respectful society.

A healthy and acceptable expression of attraction in a relationship involves key factors:

Mutual Respect:

Partners acknowledge and appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Respect entails trusting and never questioning one another's integrity.

Trust:

Trust is essential, even in the face of normal jealousy.

How partners handle jealousy determines the health of the relationship.
 Honesty:

Honesty and trust are interconnected; dishonesty undermines trust.

Caught lies can erode trust, making future communication challenging.

Support:

Support is crucial not only during challenges but also in positive moments.
Partners should be there for each other through both tough times and celebrations.

Fairness/Equality:

Relationships require a fair balance in decision-making and time spent together.

Power struggles and imbalance can strain the relationship dynamics.

Separate Identities:

Both partners maintain individuality and personal interests.

Compromises are part of a relationship, but individuals should not feel they are losing themselves.

Good Communication:

Open communication is key for a healthy relationship.

Partners should feel comfortable sharing their feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment.

10 unacceptable behaviors in any relationship:

Cheating:

Infidelity in a committed, monogamous relationship is a serious breach of trust.

Putting You Down:

No one has the right to criticize your appearance, intelligence, or any aspect that makes you feel bad about yourself.

Not Supporting Your Dreams:

Partners should be supportive of each other's goals and dreams, offering encouragement during tough times.

Controlling Behavior:

Partners should not dictate your life outside the relationship; controlling behavior is a warning sign that should be taken
seriously.

Lack of Communication:

Openly discussing wants and needs is essential for growth in a relationship.

Unnecessary Sacrifices:
While compromise is necessary, feeling like you're giving up everything without equal effort from your partner is a red flag.

Unreliability:

A lack of support during challenging times raises questions about the strength of the relationship.

Forgetting Important Days:

Neglecting anniversaries and birthdays, regardless of gender stereotypes, is not acceptable.

Self-Destructive Behavior:

Being there for a loved one in tough situations is important, but if their destructive behavior negatively affects you and they
refuse help, it might be time to reconsider the relationship.

Disregarding Friends and Family:

A lack of effort to connect with each other's loved ones can strain the relationship and hinder building a life together.

“Why is it important for partners to support each other's dreams in a relationship, and what could be the potential
consequences if this support is lacking?”

“Explain the significance of effective communication in a relationship. How might a lack of communication impact the growth
and well-being of the partners involved?”
 C. Abstraction

Attraction

Merriam-Webster dictionary, collegiately defined attraction as: 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.

Interpersonal attraction.

Interpersonal attraction, as a part of social psychology, is the study

of the attraction between people which leads to the development of
platonic or romantic relationships.

KEY COMPONENTS OF ATTRACTION

1. 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). 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.
2. Similarity

Similarity attraction effect refers to how generally, people are more

attracted to each other when they share values and interests. This
often may also include similarities in physical appearances. People
are more prone to like people that are similar to themselves than
those that are different

3. 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). 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.
4. Reciprocity

. It is when feelings with someone are being reciprocated or

returned in the same way as you do. According to Brannan and
Mohr, authors of one of the modules of in the book of Together:
The Science of Social
Psychology, “Another way
to think of it is that
relationships are built on a
give and take; if one side is
not reciprocating, then the
relationship is doomed”.
These may happen in any
relationship, with friends,
classmates, family
members, or romantic
partners.

"When it comes to making friends or getting close to someone,

why do you think we often pick people who are like us or have
similar interests? How does spending more time with someone
(proximity) or having the same feelings towards each other
(reciprocity) impact our relationships? And, why might it be
important for us to think about these things when we're building
connections with others?"
 .

LOVE

Meriam-Webster dictionary define love as:

1. (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

Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a hormone that acts on organs in the body (including

the breast and uterus) and as a chemical messenger in the brain,
controlling key aspects of the reproductive system, including
childbirth and lactation, and aspects of human behaviour.

known as the love hormone, a female reproduction hormone,

which helps to deepen the connection between mother and child
through breastfeeding. It is transmitted to the brain tissue of the
child that allows and creates a strong bond between them.

Endorphin, Serotonin, and Dopamine are so-called “feel good”

chemicals that promote strong connections/bonds between people
since it releases during happy moments.

Dr. Charles Strangor, says that there are seven (7) different types
of Love, and each type consists of the combinations of variables

Liking (Intimacy alone):

Involves intimacy without passion or commitment

Characterized by feelings of closeness, warmth, and deep
connection

Infatuation (Passion alone):

Based on passion alone, lacks intimacy and commitment

Intense with strong physical attraction but lacks emotional
connection

Empty Love (Commitment alone):

Characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion

May occur in long-term relationships with diminished passion
Romantic Love (Intimacy + Passion):

Involves both intimacy and passion

Characterized by emotional connection and physical attraction

Companionate Love (Intimacy + Commitment):

Includes intimacy and commitment without strong passion

Found in long-term relationships with a deep emotional connection

Fatuous Love (Passion + Commitment):

Characterized by passion and commitment but lacks deep

emotional intimacy seen in whirlwind romances or relationships
with quick commitment

Consummate Love (Intimacy + Passion + Commitment):

Considered the ideal type

Includes intimacy, passion, and commitment, representing a
balanced and complete form of love

Commitment

Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani and Dr. Hammond Tarry reiterated the Slotter
et al., 2011 that “commitment refers to the feelings and action that
keep partners working together to maintain the relationship”. Any
relationship will last through the cooperation of both parties,
without this, the relationship will not last and ends with breaking
up.
Commitment is a choice, a long and not an easy process that
needs to be participated by you and your partner
“Let us have a sample scenario”

Khiann and Herlen have been in a committed relationship for

several years. They share a deep emotional connection and have
expressed their love for each other. One day, Khiann decides to
make a promise to Herlen that no matter what challenges they
face, he will always prioritize open communication and actively
work on maintaining the strength of their relationship.

Promise:

Nature: In this scenario, Khiann's promise is specific and focused

on a particular aspect of their relationship – open communication
and active effort.
Commitment Aspect: The promise reflects Khiann's commitment to
ensuring a healthy and strong relationship. It is a specific
commitment to a particular behavior that contributes to the overall
commitment they share.

Commitment:

Nature: The commitment between Khiann and Herlen goes beyond

the specific promise. It encompasses their overall dedication to
each other, the relationship, and their shared future.
Flexibility: While the promise is specific, the commitment allows for
flexibility in addressing various challenges that may arise in the
course of their relationship.

Real-life Context:

Attraction and Love: The foundation of the promise and

commitment is the attraction and love that Khiann and Herlen
share. The promise becomes a tangible expression of their
commitment to nurturing and preserving the love they have for
each other.

Context of Love and Commitment: Khiann's promise is an active

demonstration of his commitment to the long-term success of their
relationship. It indicates a willingness to address challenges and
maintain a strong emotional connection over time.

This scenario illustrates how promises can be specific expressions

of commitment within the broader context of a loving and
committed relationship. khiann's promise reflects a commitment to
a particular aspect of their relationship, contributing to the overall
strength and longevity of their connection.
 D. Application

“Why do you think the release of 'feel-good' chemicals like

Oxytocin, Endorphin, Serotonin, and Dopamine is linked to strong
connections and bonds between people, especially during happy
moments? How do these chemicals contribute to the emotional
and psychological aspects of love?

"Imagine you are in a romantic relationship or a close friendship.

How would you apply the concept of commitment to navigate
challenges, coordinate activities, and support each other's needs?
Share specific actions you might take based on what you've
learned about commitment in relationships."
