The Hidden Laws of Attraction
We'd all really like to get to know the deep hidden secrets.
The laws of attraction. How is it that we sometimes walk into a room full of
people and our entire focus is aimed at that one person? What is it that causes
us to forget the whole environment around us and we jitters feel? Our heart is
in full swing and we are very nervous. How can this happen? And we can from
these feelings predict any future relationship?
An even more interesting question is whether it is possible
others a sense of glamour to deliver. For example, besides appearance, common
features and like the reciprocal is another important factor, frequently
examined by social psychologists, who feel attraction can influence. This is
our mood. Emotions and our moods affect how we feel and how we attribute these
feelings to environment, people and situations.
Emotions
& Glamour
Emotions are difficult to define. The Most psychologists
agree, however, that there are at least four basic components exist that
determine when emotions. These are the experience, the feeling of physiological
arousal , expressive reactions and related behaviors (Reisenzein, 1983). Our
psychological system of appeal is also rooted in evolution. Attraction is one
of the three primary emotional psychological systems of mating behavior. This
is characterized by an increased energy and focus of attention to one or more
of potential partners (Fisher, 1998). Emotions and attraction can never be seen
in isolation. There is an overlap, and both phenomena influence each other.
Experiments
& Glamour
A psychological experiment about how our mood our sense of
attractiveness influences to affect others, has found that people who feel
good, facilitate a sense of (sexual) attraction to others will call. The male
participants were in a positive or negative state of mind brought by listening
to music. The participants in a positive mood were brought felt more excitement
and sexual attraction as they viewed a sexually explicit video, compared to
those who were not manipulated or negative. This means that people who feel
better or happier, quicker arousal and attraction feel and therefore easier to
find someone (sexually) attractive (Mitchell, DiBartolo, Brown & Barlow,
1998).
The influence of attraction through our mood is also found
by another very interesting psychological experiment. Here, male participants
were in a romantic mood by means of hypnotic methods. These participants felt
faster arousal and thus more attractive to others than the participants who
were not charged. in this state of mind This was the case even if there were
little to no common properties, while this is an important factor in the sense
of appeal. Some participants knew about the manipulation, but the participants
who had not even scored higher on the feeling of attraction. This means that if
you cannot explain where your good mood comes from, is easier to ascribe this
to people and the situation around you exactly (Gold, Ryckman & Mosley,
1994).
The
"laws" of Attraction? Create it yourself!
These findings tell us much about the power of attraction.
But what will happen when our mood changes or disappears? We do not always feel
the same and all of these changes make it even more difficult to determine whether
we really like someone or that we make mistakes in explaining us good or
positive feelings. This is where the uncertainty lies with social interaction
and attraction. No one will be the "laws" can figure out. So let's
just create our own laws and decide to whom we give our precious attention!
Makes life a lot more exciting and secretly perhaps much more fun!
