As well as being attracted to someone who directly makes us happy, we also like people who we associate with a pleasant experience. For example, if we meet someone while we are at a party and feeling happy, we may associate them with the happy feeling. We are more likely to be attracted to this person than if we met when we were unhappy. This theory is supported by Griffitt and Guay’s study. Their participants were evaluated on a creative task by an experimenter and then asked to rate how much they liked the experimenter.
Therefore, the presence of an individual produces positive reinforcement as they have a more attractive appeal. This theory also suggests that we are attracted to people if we meet them whilst we’re in a good mood, an example being at a party. As a result, previously neutral stimuli become positively valued as they are associated with the pleasant event, therefore meaning that we learn to like people through classical conditioning. Griffit and Guay (1969) conducted a study to investigate how the reward/need satisfaction theory works and how well it is acceptable. Participants were evaluated on a creative task by an experimenter.
Individuals tend to search for others who have the same personality as their own.

For example, some teenagers have very difficult backgrounds, which make them sometimes act in a disrespectful way. For this reason it is unfair to make judgements without considering ones personal background and social context. While watching the documentary, Educating Essex, I felt great sympathy for one boy in particular called Vinnie. Vinnie has a very difficult background which effects the way he reacts to others. However it is wrong to call him a “wild” and “ignorant” teenager without his personal situation.
Sadly, people who are truly themselves, and stick to their values and beliefs tend to be alone and get overlooked often, but that’s not their problem. Just because some people use their brain, it doesn’t mean they’re boring. People who can't enjoy their life without alcohol, drugs, partying, and all their friends, are much more pathetic than people who can enjoy life without all

At least 75% of the subjects gave the wrong answer to at least one question, although experimental error may have had some influence on this figure. There was no doubt, however, that peer pressure can cause conformity. It was debated whether this is because people disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes or if it was just compliance, that people hide their opinions. Follow ups to the Asch Experiment showed that the number of dissenting voices made a difference to the results, as did the forcefulness of the confederates. One incorrect confederate made little difference to the answers, but the influence steadily increased if two or three people disagreed.
