The document discusses intimacy and affection in close relationships. It defines intimacy as including immediacy, or openness to communicate, and affection, which conveys warmth and closeness through verbal and nonverbal messages. Intimacy requires high levels of nonverbal involvement over time, including warmth and physical closeness like touch. People have different attachment styles like secure, anxious, or avoidant styles, which can predict relationship outcomes. The capacity for affection is innate, though feelings and expressions of affection don't always align. Affection promotes health by reducing stress, but people vary in their tolerance, and receiving unwanted affection can stimulate a nervous stress response.
Intimacy means open sharing of feelings and wants between you and another person. It is expressing the natural child feeling of warmth, tenderness and closeness to others. Many people suffer from an inability to express such closeness.

This is one of Erik Erikson\'s stages which is stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation. It describes what having intimacy means as well as isolation. It also shows the causes that can lead to having one of these. It also describes how you are as a person if you have too much of the positive side (maladaptation) or having too much of the negative side (malignancy) and the effects it can have on you. It is a really interesting stage that can teach you a lot you did not know. Hope you find it as interesting and learn more about Erikson\'s stage.

Communication is a process that uses messages to convey meaning. The communication process can be
described by one of three models.
The linear communication model depicts communication as an activity where information flows in one
direction, from a starting point to an end point.
➢ There must be a message.
➢ A channel is the sensory dimension (or dimensions) along which the message is sent
➢ The sender (or senders) of the message is the individual (or individuals) who generate the
information to be communicated, package it into a message, and choose the channel (or
channels) for sending it.
➢ Noise is any factor in the environment that impedes messages from reaching their destination.
➢ The receiver (or receivers) is the person for whom the message is intended and to whom the
message is delivered.
The interactive communication model views communication as a process involving senders and
receivers. In this model, communication is influenced by two additional factors: feedback and fields of
experience.
➢ Feedback comprises verbal and nonverbal messages that receivers provide to indicate their
reaction to communication.
➢ Fields of experience represent the beliefs, attitudes, values, and experiences that each
participant brings to a communication event.
The transactional communication model depicts a multidirectional process, where each person
involved in a communication event equally influences the communication behavior of the other parties
involved.
➢ Messages are constantly exchanged between all parties involved in the encounter, which
collaboratively creates meaning.
The transactional model explains the majority of encounters that intuitively seem “interpersonal.”
• Does one of the communication models impact the develop of the character or relationship?
• How does the communication/communication model impact thoughts, emotions, behaviors
and/or relationships?
2
Interpersonal communication creates impact, changing the participants’ thoughts, emotions,
behavior, and relationships. Interpersonal communication conveys both content and relationship
information. Content information is the actual meaning of the word.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is Intimacy?
• Intimacy is a very broad term that
has been used to describe
attitudes and behaviors related to
close relationships.
3. What is Intimacy?
• Immediacy: The difference between content (digital)
and relational (analogic) messages.
Signals openness and willingness to communicate.
Must be
• Continuous
• forming a spectrum or range of behaviors
• sustained and prolonged
4. What is Intimacy?
• Affection: verbal and nonverbal messages that
convey “warmth, positive regard, safety,
support, comfort, relationship satisfaction, and
closeness” (p. 226)
7. Stability and Outcomes of Relational
Closeness• Why? Because intimacy is interactional and usually dyadic.
Implies certain levels of coordination of intimacy between partners
Expectations quite often coincide , but sometimes do not.
• Some Indicators:
Touch – Most powerful way we display affection
Time – Time spent with another is the highest indicator of immediacy
Males experience intimacy through tasks and activities
Females experience intimacy through conversation
• Regardless of gender, both men and women both agree that affective skills are important in close
relationships
8. A Note About Touch
• Researchers studying the importance of touching found that a brief period of physical
contact (including massage) significantly enhanced participants’ oxytocin levels
– 34 couples participated in the experiment
– Half of the couples were trained in “listening touch” designed to relax their partner while
speaking (e.g., simple neck massage) and were then trained in basic massage techniques
– The remaining couples were monitored for several weeks
• One month after training, couples in the massage condition experienced significantly
higher levels of salivary oxytocin than the control group
9. …Putting it all together
Intimacy requires three elements of nonverbal behavior
Higher levels of nonverbal involvement and immediacy
Warm, immediate nonverbal behavior over time in a
variety of situations
Affection and physical closeness, particularly touch.
*Secure attachments reflect healthy and sustained levels
of each of these requirements
10. Affection Exchange Theory
• The need and capacity for affection are innate
• Affectionate feelings and affectionate expressions are usually, but
not always, correlated
• Affectionate communication promotes health and reproductive ability
• Humans vary in their tolerance for affection
• Expressing or receiving affection that violates our tolerance
stimulates the nervous system to react
• .
11. The need and capacity for affection
are innate.
• Tend-and-befriend theory: Affectionate behavior is intended to fortify personal
relationships and is beneficial for health because it ameliorates the physiological stress
response.
Tending – soothing behaviors meant to alleviate stress (hand holding, caressing, use of soft
tone)
Befriending – Creating and maintaing social relationships that provide resources, support
and protection.
• Necessary for the survival of our genes
Preservation of our offspring
Preservation of ourselves
12. Affectionate feelings and affectionate expressions
are usually, but not always, correlated
are innate
• Strength of a feeling and display of a feeling can covary, but usually do not.
Could be due to temparment
Could be due to upbrining
Could be due to cultural norms
13. Affectionate communication
promotes health and reproductive
ability
are innate
• Lower levels of cortisol
Floyd (2008) conducted a study to on 20 spousal couples in which 1 spouse
(either husband or wife) was asked to measure initial cortisol levels via saliva sample
and report on their amount of stress.
Couples were then asked to report on their affectionate communication behaviors (both
verbal and nonverbal).
Findings showed a correlation between lower cortisol levels and higher amounts of
reported affectionate communication.
14. Humans vary in their tolerance for
affection
• Cognitive Valence Theory (Andersen) argues that changes in intimacy produce changes
in arousal
– Based on biological temperament
– Changes in intimacy produce changes in arousal:
• Small changes in arousal go unnoticed
• Large changes in arousal stimulate fear and protection
• Moderate changes in arousal are ambiguous
15. Humans vary in their tolerance for
affection
• Evaluative Measures of CVT: Schemata
Cultural Schema
Self-Schema [fixed personality/psychological predisposition]
Communication predisposition
Trait communication behavior
Interpersonal Schema [Liking, attractiveness, homophily]
Relational [How is the relationship defined?]
What is it? (Definition)
Where is it going? (trajectory)
Situational [environment, context, situation]
State [Mood, temporary state of mind]
16. Humans vary in their tolerance for
affection
• Positive Relational Outcomes
• CVT predicts three positive outcomes in relationships if all of the valences are positive:
– More positive feelings toward relational partner
– Reciprocal increases in intimacy
– Greater levels of closeness and intimacy

tolerance stimulates the nervous system to react
