The Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised


85: Attachment Anxiety (vs. Attachment Security)High scorers tend to worry about whether their romantic partner is attentive and responsive to them. They may seek out intense relationships and have strong emotional responses in these relationships (when combined with low attachment avoidance), or they may be self-conscious and sensitive in new relationships (when combined with high attachment avoidance). High attachment anxiety is associated with lower relationship stability and more frequent negative facial expressions (such as frowning). For men, high anxiety is associated with lower relationship satisfaction.





25: Attachment Avoidance (vs. Attachment Seeking)


Low scorers tend to be more comfortable in intimate relationships and are more secure about depending on others and having others depend on them. They may approach close relationships with a flexible sense of self-confidence (when combined with low attachment avoidance), or they may be uncomfortable without a relationship and be heavily dependent on their partner as a source of support and worth (when combined with high attachment anxiety). Low attachment avoidance is associated with higher relationship closeness and more positive descriptions of relationship partners (both romantic and non-romantic), as well as with greater friendliness and more frequent positive facial expressions (such as smiling). For women, low avoidance is associated with higher relationship satisfaction.

HOW ATTRACTIVE IS THIS CRIMINAL ?!

According to these data, women are less likely to find the criminal attractive if he was a murderer. We also assessed your basic personality traits. Psychologists often discuss people's personality traits with respect to five dimensions (what are sometimes called the Big Five): extraversion vs. introversion, agreeableness vs. disagreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism vs. emotional stability, and openness to experience.

We have illustrated your scores on each of these trait dimensions below. The scores for each scale range from 1 (low) to 5 (high). Your scores are as follows: extraversion = 4.62, agreeableness = 3.44, conscientiousness = 2.89, neuroticism = 3.25, and openness = 4.50.
Introverted less
Extraverted more
Disagreeable more
Agreeable less
Not conscientious more
Conscientious less
Emotionally stable less
Neurotic more
Conventional more
Open less

One reason we are assessing people's personality traits is that we are interested in learning whether certain personality profiles are correlated with how attractive people found the individual. We do not yet have enough data to address this question, but we hope to in the near future.

Dear Pablo:

Dear Hubby,

I know everyone misses me in Houston, but San Antonio is great. I am still getting calls from everyone asking me to come back. Everyone wanted to be my friend the first day, even though it was spring and i am the freshest of all freshman. You are so lucky I am your girlfriend still, because I turn every guy's head. Haha. I hope you know you have a line behind you. :p
Anyways, I really can't wait for all of my teachers to see me prevail and shine in class. Well, except one of the teachers. She is a total witch. I told her that I did not find my book yesterday and she just gave me a zero, just like that! Well, I guess she does not know who I am. I hope she tries that again so I could get her fired. She almost embarassed me, but it's ok. Everyone was laughing lots....so i know everyone thought it was funny for her to try that.
I know I came halfway through the year, but it wont take me too much to show them whose boss. Especially since I am the most fashionable out of my fashion class and I argue the most in debate. So i think everyone should just bow to me already haha. I mean there is already this nerdy girl who offered to help me study. I think she wants to be me. I mean I would never want to be seen with her, but then again I could turn her into my own mini me. I could make her into the leader of my fan club. Well, I asked her to come hang out with me but she was all weird saying I am too busy, but I will help you because the teacher asked me to. I think she is just shy. Whatever, I don't need her and her attitude problems because she is obviously jealous. I really love you almost as much as you love me, just kidding. I know you miss me so much, but maybe I can come home soon and tend to the past people who got me this far. I love you bunches. XOXO

Love, Lorenza

Case Study #9.....Are you afraid of NEEDLES?

Case Study #9: A 27-year-old, athletic young man has an intense fear of needles. He tries to rationalize his fear by explaining that he is just being cautious and protecting himself from acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome (AIDS). He realizes that his fear is irrational but is unable to control it. The patient has fainted twice in the past when his blood was drawn during a physical examination. He becomes extremely anxious at the sight of a needle and worries for days before an appointment with his physician or dentist.

Well first off, he has an obvious phobia which he has linked other traumatizing events with. He might have started with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder which he linked his fear with similar things that bothered him before. The symptoms to this disorder is complete anxiety which the body reacts with it switching off all of a sudden, like fainting. But, it is for sure he has a panic disorder without Agoraphobia. This man also has panic disorders because he feels there is no escape when it comes to encountering the needle. This reaction could be catalyzed from an inherited vasovagal reflex. 10% of Americans suffer this phobia, which could be part acquired and, suprisingly, inherited. This is very harmful to people because this phobia causes many Americans to neglect Medi Care since they do not want the puncture.

He can start off by informing himself of others whom have this problem and educate himself on over coming his fear. He can learn the importance of needles and consult his doctor on his fear so his doctor can let him know why this is important. It is very important the doctor knows so he can better understand how to help. More doctors should learn of this fear so they can find new alternatives to helping kill this fear in its entirety. People often think that if they are with a person like this, that they should take the shot first to take the fear away. This in fact worsens it because the body sends signals to the brain, furthering the upcoming panic. The person with the fear should go first, ALWAYS. If this fear existed before the appointment, chances are they know how this looks like and they know what he/she is afraid of. The comparison of a needle vs. the actual disease helps the person understand that this needle is saving them a worse pain. In the end, taking a shot is a lot of better than taking 13 of them when you actually get sick.

Britney Spear's Cry for Help.......♥



This woman has been ridiculed by everyone for her crazy actions in the past few years. Was it the drugs or was it something in her brain that triggered these impulses? Some believe it is both, but many believe it was cause and effect.

This actress started her booming carreer since she was only a child in the Mickey Mouse club when it was at its best. Many stars were born there, like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. Years later all of them seemed to manage the paparazzi well, but she has been eaten alive adding more to her uncontrollable perril. She has traveled a long way to her success and she has traveled an even longer way to her pursuit of happiness. Some people see her as crazy, but some view her as an innocent woman who got too much of everything she wanted to the point where she could never go back and take some of it back. This woman shows the good, the bad, and the very ugly of uncontrollable fame. This woman shows what happens when every action is being watched by strangers out to get the worst out of her to make their living. She is better now, but the transition was only possible only because of the very few who trully loved her, some of those fans who wanted her to be left alone, and the promise of being reunited with her beautiful sons again. This is Britney Spears.

She Everyone knew her life was the typical out of control rock star life. She partied with her fortune she had labored for all her life and was paying it off by going off. The paparazzi by now is nothing knew to her only because she is the center of attention for what she has been capable of doing. Everyone always saw her on the cover of People and Ok magazines for her reckless drunk behavior, like December 6, 2006 carrying a wine glass while stepping into her car, and her out of control behavior like shaving her head. Everyone saw her impulsive desicions like marrying Kevin Federline, a backup dancer who wanted the fame and riches to leach off of Britney. They married September 18, 2004. They divorced over a year after which Britney over partied herself. They had two boys which after the crazy divorce, Britney and her now Ex husband were fighting custody over the two infants. Britney lost her world, which made her lose some more control. Everyday I would pass news stands in CVS, Walmart, Target, and everywhere to see the most horrific pictures of this woman crying for her two children. Everyone knew she loved her boys so much. Flashing back to 2006, Britney sings "Someday I Will Understand." This song talks about how much she wanted a baby and the music video shows her with a pregnant stomach. Two weeks after the song came out, Britney found out she was pregnant with Sean Preston. Britney wanted someone new to depend on and to love. After her husband filed for divorce, she wanted to be with no one else but her babies.

Everyone believes she is bipolar with a manic disorder worsened by alcohol. She also has been taking anxiety disorder medicines which could be deduced to say that it was caused by the anxiety of everyone trying to watch every negative move she makes. People Magazine confirms she has had depression after the birth of both of her children. Dr. Kirschener said in People Magazine that bipolar disorders begin usually in early adulthood. Britney's fame boomed at that age with her hit single "Baby, One More Time." Also Dr. Kirschener stated that some people suffering this disorder have to hit rock bottom to realize they need to recover. After losing fame and her children, Britney knew she had to change.

Now a new Britney Spears emerges. Currently 26, she is now fit and ready to be out on the public eye to show her strength to her crowd. On December 2nd she will be celebrating her birthday on Good Morning America. Maybe this phase will be here to stay.
