Man is a Social Being.
Human survival is
dependent upon
group relating.
 Homo sapiens as social beings
• Relationships are themselves a crucial part of
psychological wealth without which you cannot be truly rich.
• Simply put, we need others to flourish.
• Research on social relationships and happiness are clear
on this point: healthy social contact is essential for
happiness (and survival).

• We don’t just need relationships: we need close, positive,

and flourishing relationships.
 Close Relationships
• Kelly et al. (1983) defined close relationships as those in
which the behavior of two people is highly interdependent
and each frequently and strongly influences the other
behavior.

• Parent and child relationships, friendships, supervisors-

employees, colleagues, intimate relationships, marriage,
and love.
The researchers surveyed the men about their lives (including the quality of their
marriages, job satisfaction, and social activities) every two years and monitored
their physical health (including chest X-rays, blood tests, urine tests, and
echocardiograms) every five years.
Some of the Results:
Close Relationships Matter
(happier, healthier, live longer)

It is the Quality, Intimacy,

Stability, and Consistency (not
Quantity) (resilient, buffers from
Stable and supportive marriages
psychological and physical pain)
(mild cognitive impairment &
lessens memory loss)
1. How are our close relationships?
2. How much quality time and
connections have we invested to
people who are close to us?
3. Is it stable?
4. Are we consistent?
5. How can we improve our
close relationships so that
it will be meaningful,
memorable, and
flourishing?
• Social relationships refer to the existing
associations between family members,
friends, neighbors, co-workers, and other
associates (Naser, et al., 2020)
•  Social relationship scientists often emphasize that
comfortable, relaxed and easy social relationships
are important in a person’s life and have a great
impact on health, affecting their behavioral,
psychosocial, and physiological states (Umberson
& Montez, 2010).
•  Social connections have been extensively
investigated, with researchers confidently agreeing
on the importance of social relationships and their
impact on an individual’s wellbeing (
Baumeister & Leary, 1995).
• Social relationships and connections enable
individuals to regulate their emotions, cope
with stress, and remain resilient during
stressful situations.
• World Health Organization announced that social
disconnection is a major public health challenge.
• The worldwide battle to fight against the COVID-19
pandemic was based on social distancing (Courtet
et al., 2020), which conflicts the human need to
connect with others (Bavel et al., 2020).
• Individuals are now facing the possibility of different
forms of social isolation (Claridge, 2020).
• Loneliness and social isolation aggravate stress and
often result in negative effects on mental,
cardiovascular, and immune health (Hawkley
& Cacioppo, 2010).
