The Relational Formation and Development of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? Which factors contribute to this?




Recently, Robert Pattinson has confirmed that he and his co-star, Kristen Stewart are officially dating (http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978068722&grpId=3659174697259616)
So how they have become a couple? What are the reasons behind the relational formation and development?




For me, i feel that the physical appearance as well as similarity play the dominance role in bonding these two people closer together. For most of all, the physical attractiveness that both parties explicit is the first aspect in the development of an association, such as, Robert Pattinson's handsome face as well as tall figure and Kristen Stewart sweet face as well as beauty. This causes them to form a relationship. Why?

This is because physical appearance have its biggest impact in the early stages of a relationship. Because of the external factor that they can see on each other and they find it is attractive, they will then step to start a relationship.


Besides physical appearance, similarity also plays the role in the construction of relationship.
Both of them have similar jobs which is an actress and an actor. This factor tend to bring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together as it reduces the uncertainties about them. Furthermore, the social role that they took serves as a form of social validation since they have one thing in common- their job. They share a social activity together and because of the similiarity they have found on each other, they then form a relationship.


They are unlikely to start a relationship when they are complementaries- which means they are different from each other. In addition, i feel that they will not form relationships based on their perception of costs and rewards of the relationship- Exchange.


In conclusion even there are other factors that tend to form their relationship such as dissimilarities, exchange, proximity and others, i strongly feel that the physical appearance and the similarity that both parties have are the best factors that brought them to form a relationship. it is true that, many people form relationship based on the internal(emotional feelings) and external reasons. However, from the external factor, i strongly feel that physical appearance and similarities are the feature that bring a relationship together.

So what is your view about this matter?

"Action Speaks Louder Than Words"


This proverb has a great meaning to human's daily life. To get ideas and understand one another, we communicate. We can express our ideas with or without words(nonverbal communication).


Personally i feel that nonverbal communication plays a big role in our life. It helps us to find jobs as well as understand the message sent by other party deeply. For example, through nonverbal communication, we can examine the party's body and facial language. We can see whether he is sad or happy. In this case, we can find the underlying meaning of what the person says more accurately with our own eyes.


I believe that it is not good enough for us to just focus mainly at the sentences said by the party.Furthermore, verbal message tend to give us to have only one perception of thinking. We will not fully understand the meaning behind the verbal communication.


Due to the globalization, there are thousands of people that come form different background with the uniques cultures and languages. If we use verbal communication, there will be some 'conflict'. This is because the words that we think is appropriate might not be appropriate for others.


However, if we use nonverbal communication, we are 'kind' of safe. Through the facial expressions, we can present our ideas without being afraid of being insensitive to others. in this context, we respects others cultures and not to be rude.


According to the research done , 'Spoken language is only 7-15% of communication. Thus, with the respect to the proverb stated above,"(Action Speaks Louder Than Words") and the statistics, i strongly believe that nonverbal plays critical role in our life compare to verbal communication. However, it should be noted that nonverbal works together with verbal communication, They help to bring and define the message accurately.


What do you guys think of this perception?
