In order to distinguish the difference between loving and liking, questionnaire should be undergone. Firstly, the love-scale should be set which referred to the association response from the questionnaire. Some questionnaire items had to be provided according to the attitude of the respondents toward the target person. The questionnaire represented the personal visions of two panels of students and faculty about the ideas of love and like. It contained theoretical thinking and pointed to the three elements of love mentioned in paragraph one. The questionnaire items included two categories, like and love and questionnaires were distributed to 158 dating couples at the University of Michigan. The results found that love and like were more strongly related among males than females and it gave some proofs for the suggestion that it was more illustrious for women to differentiate the two emotions than men. The results also showed that women like their male friends more than other side like them. Moreover, women were prone to say love to same-sex friends more than men and those might be some kinds of the gender differe...

An attachment is the unique, emotional bond between the caregiver and the infant and is characterised by mutual affection and a desire to maintain proximity (Bowlby, 1969; Shaffer, 1996). Attachment is concerned with survival and emotional regulation and the infant will do whatever is necessary to maintain their attachments and to ensure safety (Bowlby, 1988). The infant uses the attachment figure as a ‘secure base’ (Ainsworth, 1989). The security of the attachment ultimately depends on how the caregiver responds to the child and in turn this becomes the groundwork for the infant’s emotional development and emotional self-regulation. Children develop an understanding of how relationships work from their early attachments and the lifelong impact
Intimacy Intimacy is often defined as arising from a close acquaintance, association, or familiarity. This definition would definitely describe the relationship I have with my sister, Catherine. We share just about everything that goes on in our lives and know each other from the back of our hands. We are so close, in fact, that rarely do we hear what another is feeling before we already know. We can tell each other's mood by the body language we use.
Personal relationships are central to being human. We have relationships of so many kinds and maintain so many roles throughout our daily lives. We are expected to be a successful communicator as coworkers, parents, children, friends, siblings, and intimate partners. Interpersonal communications investigates both nonverbal and verbal message exchange between two people regardless of their relationship. Interpersonal communications is a fairly new profession and field of study but it is one that applies to all. Humans cannot, not communicate; perhaps that is why the amount of research available in this field is increasing to rapidly. Scholars such as Timothy Levine, Rene Dailey, and Megan Dillow are doing countless experiments on hot topics in the communication discipline such as topic avoidance, similarity breeding liking, taboo topics, and uncertainty in intimate realtionships.
The researchers of the article wanted to know if relationship satisfaction, disclosure, hope, and trust are important elements in a model of attachment for friendships. The study used 268 undergraduate students from different levels and departments of a private Christian university. The methodology used involved five different questionnaires. The first questionnaire measured avoidance and anxiety attachment styles, this was called the Relationship Structure Questionnaire. The Relationship Satisfaction Scale measured the relationship satisfaction in relationships, such as family and friendships. The third questionnaire was called the Herth Hope Index and it was used to explore temporality and future, interconnectedness, and positive readiness.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University conducted a study on whether hugs can help decrease the likely-hood of physiological infection in stressed individuals. The head researcher, Sheldon Cohen, chose to study hugging because it determines the closeness and intimacy of a relationship, is an act of social support, and therefore, eliminates feelings of isolation that can result in stress and poor immunity.
““There is no duty more indispensable than that of returning a kindness,” says Cicero.” (Gouldner 161). What is reciprocity? According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, reciprocity is “a situation or relationship in which two people or groups agree to do something similar for each other, to allow each other to have the same rights.” What is reciprocity in a close relationship? Reciprocity in a close relationship is similar to just reciprocity in any nature but in a close relationship people give back the same kind of treatment they receive from someone else. It is similar to the golden rule, “treat others how you want to be treated.” We are known to repay favors, invites to events, gifts etc. Reciprocity has always been something my parents have told me make sure I stay on top of. They have always told me, “treat others how I want to be treated”, it is something to remember and live by because it is important if one of your friends or romantic partner remembers your birthday and gets you a gift or even as simple
"Mr. Leôncio," Malvina said in a forced tone as she approached the sofa, which her husband was reclining, "I desire to say two words, if that won't inconvenience you."

I delivered my informative speech on the psychological aspects of smiling. I used examples of how the brain, body and others around you are affected by your smile. I explained how your brain activates neural messaging, releases tiny molecules and releases your happy chemicals of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins for your health and well being. I presented the audience with an adequate amount of slides with important facts regarding my topic. Credit was given to three sources required for this assignment, Professor Paula Niedenthal, a case study done at the University of Aberdeen and a study conducted in Sweden. I mentioned how smiling affects your body by looking attractive, relaxed, confident,
People feel comfortable when those around them smile, and the reason why this happens is simple; a smiling face can be trusted. It is the reason why others smile with you either consciously or unconsciously without the “why” of the action. Maybe, it is the stimulating effect of a smile on the central nervous system or its communication of the assurance that everything would be okay. Maybe it is not because there is no reason to smile back at someone we do not like but we still do it regardless. So a smile is the same as a communicable infection that s transmitted from one person to another, weakens the defense system of the recipient, and make it do whatever it wants without restrictions. While this comparison might sound outrageous, it shows the strength of the irresistible power of a smile. A smile is contagious because it is one of the forms of facial expressions that are used to create the emotional response that reassures others that everything is going to be okay when the situation appears otherwise. Also, it is the
