Psychology Essay: Physical Atrraction.

The text makes the comment that the most influential thing in liking early in a relationship is physical attractiveness. Would you agree with that? Why or why not?

Agreed.

During the very first impressions, initial judgments are made entirely on the basis of external observable factors - such as physical appearance, dress, and observed behavior. Whether or not one is even aware of it, consideration is immediately given to whether or not one finds that person physically attractive.

In the second stage of a relationship - the building stage, in which both people in the relationship continue to make value judgments about each other, learn about each other, and decide whether they want to invest more time and energy into pursuing the relationship - the nature of interactions between people becomes less superficial, and more focused on whether like or love emotions are present in the relationship.

But early in the relationship, yes, physical attraction is the most influential thing.
