INTERPERSONAL SENSITIVITY ON ATTRACTIVENESS
Abstract
The current study examines the effect of interpersonal sensitivity on attractiveness among Filipino De La Salle University students. Interpersonal sensitivity is the ability to perceive accurately and thoroughly the feelings, thoughts, emotions and needs of the person and to respond accurately to his or her interpersonal, personal and social environment. On the other hand, attractiveness is part of a social process wherein two individuals are involved and one of them transmits a verbal or visual stimulus while expecting the other to give a positive response. The researchers conducted an experiment wherein they chose seventy random De La Salle students as their participants. The experiment was conducted using a vignette scale containing a situation showing high sensitivity and a situation showing low sensitivity and the participants were asked to mark on the scale which situation they are most likely or unlikely attractive to. The results of the experiment showed that there was a significant difference between a person with high interpersonal sensitivity and a person with low interpersonal sensitivity.
