Attraction and Exclusion in Our Lives

Abstract

Attraction and exclusion were examined in affective processing, in the context of research of scholarly literature and popular culture. Attraction and exclusion are higher in high schools than any other environment. Attractive physical appearance has its downsides and upsides. Exclusion in homo sapiens can lead to mental and physical harm. Grade school children tend to show more emotion than adults in attraction and exclusion. The Mean Girls movie shows a dramatic way of showing attraction and exclusion. Attraction and exclusion happen in the career’s world as well. Adults tend have a facade over their attractions and exclusions.

Attraction and Exclusion

The research was over two social psychological key terms. Attractiveness is the range to which a person's physical features are considered pleasing or beautiful. Exclusion is the process or state of removing or person or thing and or being forced to exclude oneself. In high school teens are mainly about physical attraction and will exclude an individual because he or she douse not look or act like them. Teens can and will exclude a person just because they may not like something of their physical appearance. Most of the time children learn these traits from other teens and or even parents. In grade school but mainly in high school physical attraction is everything for social expectance. Every child wants to be wanted. In turn do anything possible to become excepted by their pears. At times the students can make negative mistakes by trying to become something they are not. Some mistakes he or she may do are changing their physical appearance just to be liked and or treating people in a negative manner just to be in a group or so called click.

The movie Mean Girls shows attraction and exclusion at its finest. Mean Girl shows a very dramatic way the need for physical attraction in high school. “The movie is about a teenage girl named Cady who is played by the child’s star Lindsay Lohan. She went to school in Africa and was thought by her scientist parents. When her family moves to Illinois, the teen gets to experience public school for the first time and gets a fast lesson on the cruel, tacit laws of popularity that splits her fellow students into tightly knit cliques. She then finds herself in the good graces of a high-end popular group of cool students named the Plastics, but then the teen soon finds out how her shallow group of new friends earned the name the so-called plastics”.

The movie shows how important it is to look a certain way and to act a certain way in most high schools. In grade school but mainly in high school physical attraction is everything for social appetence. Every child wants to be wanted. In turn do anything possible to become excepted by their pears. At times the students can make negative mistakes by trying to become something they are not. Some mistakes he or she may do are changing their physical appearance just to be liked and or treating people in a negative manner just to be in a group or so called click.

Most people think that after high school adults tend to grow up, but that is not always the chase. Sometimes adults bring their childhood traits into the workplace. Just as in high school adults may not like the way a person speaks or looks and can exclude that person. Most of the time adults tend to hide their attacks to on another better than teen do. Some adults in the workplace have a higher chance of bulling than others (Excluded by Grown-Up Mean Girls). It all depends on the maturity level of the adult and what he or she has gone through in their past. Most employees have a strong need to belong in their work place and organizations. Not only do they want to go to work, do a good job, earn money, and come home satisfied at the end of the day, but they also want to be included and have their efforts recognized in order to have a sense of belonging. All of this breaks down when people feel excluded, doing damage both to the individual and the organization.

Method

Attraction and Exclusion are both key aspects to our society. First, I would like to analyze the brake down the word Attraction. “In a computer date study physical attractiveness was the only option that made heterosexual attraction”. The results may be just to the first date. On the first date the only good information available about a partner is his or her physical

attractiveness and liking someone is based only on it. With a lot of encounters personality information becomes available and assumes a strong role in understanding the word liking, reducing and winking the effects of physical attractiveness. This information of computer date study availability model of heterosexual attraction was tested by having people go on a variety of five dates that where tests at the same time.

Results

“The computer date study was found that both physical attractiveness and the personality variable, anxiety, had early and ongoing effects on the turn liking”. After some work it was found that the information availability model is an excellent explanation of heterosexual attraction. Both physical attractiveness and personality information are available on the first encounter and have an ongoing and undiminishing effect on liking. In an amount of five dates EugeneW. Mathes (1975).

When talking about exclusion in the work place there was an employee survey done by a “Canadian university that had information on feelings of workplace exclusion and harassment and compared it to turnover rates three years after the survey was formed and found that people who reported feeling excluded were extremely more likely to have quit” (Exclusion in the Workplace).

Discussion

The study’s showed that people tend to look at a person’s appearance before they get to know the person. The first thing that people look at is their face. Then after that their body’s physical attractiveness. Most people think that they see what is inside the person as like personality. The truth is that the human body is first attracted to the physical body than to the persons mind Baumeister, R. & Bushman, B. (2017)
