1. The two predictors of love are proximity (i.e. closeness; we tend to choose friends and lovers who live, study, or work near us) and similarity (we choose friends and lovers who are similar to us in looks, attitudes, beliefs, values, interest, and personality). 2. One of these predictors’ correlates to Reggie and Lassandra is the proximity as when Reggie changed his class from Woodshop to Home Economics, they began to study together, which ultimately led her to be his girlfriend. 3. While discussing parenting, Reggie references rewards and consequences which denote the operant form of conditioning.
