Attraction
The 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.
Having this definition, It could be said that attraction is 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.
When you have a positive attitude or evaluation regarding a particular person
in relation to different components, that is interpersonal attraction. For many,
interpersonal attraction relates only between two people having intimate and
romantic relationship. However , it is not only limited to such since it may also
transpire between friends , colleagues, family members, and others.
There are a lot of key components of attraction that may be the
reason for someone liking others. Some of those are:
Physical attractiveness
Similarity
Proximity
Reciprocity
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.
Facial features like the shape and color of the eyes, the nose, the lips, and even the
cheekbones and jaw have an impact when talking with another person or people; the built
of the body, the color of the hair , the complexion , the smoothness of the skin, and the
smile also may be considered with impact as these are the firs things available elements
presented even without interaction. It could also be added that certain similarities in facial
and bodily symmetry or resemblance with anyone they knew , with someone they like or
with a person they used to talk with , could also determinants of liking another person or
people.
