INTERACTION APPEARANCE THEORY

LEYVIE ANNE E. SANTOS 2013-51481 INTERACTION APPEARANCE THEORY Interaction Appearance Theory is a theory that developed by Kelly Fudge Albada, Mark Knapp and Katheryn Theune. This theory explains that communication can help in developing the appearance of a person. Their attractiveness would increase if their communication skills work best. This theory states that communication would actually give benefits to the people who are not physically attractive if used wisely. Mostly communication helps men and women who are trying to look for a partner, and also wanted to build a strong relationship with others. Because maintaining the beauty could be very expensive, we could use this theory in keeping ourselves appealing by means of good interaction. The theory predicts that communication has an influence to the physical appeal of a person. Interaction Appearance Theory is actually used during an interpersonal communication because it requires interaction with different people. Your physical attractiveness is based in your ways of speaking or communicating. This theory believes that physical appearance is important in a romantic relationship. In this article Feingold concluded that the appearance of a person is more important to men than to women, while women would be attracted to the way the men speak rather than what he looks like. The relationship would be potential if good communication is developed. The variables in this theory is determined by interviews or experiments where people described their ideal partner being physically attractive but then after months since they met the opposite of their ideal guy, it worked great with someone who is not good-looking but communicate well and maintained a great interaction.
