The need to belong is one of the strongest emotional needs sought after by animals. Being identified with another social group fulfills the intrinsic desires. This principle is called the need of affiliation. Roy Baumeister and Mark Leary (1995) argued that the need to belong is a fundamental human need to form and maintain at least a minimum amount of lasting, positive, and significant interpersonal relationships. These social interactions must be stable and occur frequently in order to main our sense of affiliation. Only then can interpersonal relationships be formed. Interpersonal relationships are relationships that are strong social connections people develop within one or more acquaintances. The connections between individuals is crucial

The more often one person is around another and the more they run into that person in daily life makes then more attractive. Propinquity is very powerful in determining attraction. This influence can be broken down even further. Three categories that complete propinquity: Sheer availability, anticipation of interaction, and the mere exposure effect. Sheer availability is how available the people of interest are around that person. People anticipate interactions with people that are available to find common interest. These interactions will make people become better aquatinted with each other. This describes the anticipation of interaction. The mere exposure effect reinforces the idea of propinquity. the tendency that humans are more likely to like the person (stimuli) if exposed repeatedly. How similar someone is an influence when a person is determining whether or not someone is attractive. People have a natural tendency to be drawn to others whom are similar in age, race, personality, education, and intelligence. However, from this research it important to understand that this attraction is subjective to the individual person. Reciprocity is the social rule that a person likes another person will respond with equal liking. This idea the original person that they have qualities that are valued by other people.

The theory of attachment was developed by John Bowlby. Bowlby wanted to understand the distress displayed by infants who had been separated from their parents. Infant interactions with their caregivers shape their attachment styles attachment styles, their learned orientations towards relationships with others. The strong emotional or physical attachment to at least one primary caregiver is important to personal development by shaping their perspective of how to interact with different people who they connect and bond with. After reviewing Bowlby’s research, Mary Ainsworth, considered how infants could different in attachment. Ainsworth compiled an assessment called the Strange Situation Classification. The assessment was developed to investigate how attachments might vary between children. Hazan and Shaver (1987) noted that the relationship between infants and caregivers and the relationship between adult romantic partners share the following features: each feel protected when the other is nearby, each pair engage in close, intimate, bodily contact, and both feel insecure when the other is inaccessible. Hazan and Shaver’s discoveries support Bowbly’s research in how attachment in infancy shapes our learned behaviors in adulthood. According to Bowlby & Ainsworth’s research, attachment is identified as three broad types of attachment styles: Secure, anxious, and
