Please check out their works for further information and to dive even deeper into this topic. Here's a basic outline of what I'm covering as it relates to ghosting: ·         Being attracted to other people o   Attracted by appearance o   Attracted by proximity o   Attracted by complementarity ·         Uncertainty Reduction Theory o   Charles Berger & Richard Calabrese o   A theory suggesting people are motivated to reduce their uncertainty about others o   The more certain we become about a person, the more likely we are to "like" them ·         Predicted outcome theory o   Michael Sunnafrank o   We try to determine whether continued communication with a person will be worth our effort o   Approach vs avoidance behaviors
