This document discusses three types of conceptual frameworks: overlapping domains, sequential, and ecological. The overlapping domains framework represents intersections between different aspects of a concept, emphasizing complexity and interconnections. The sequential framework organizes concepts or variables in a linear sequence to illustrate temporal or causal relationships. The ecological framework views phenomena within broader environmental contexts and highlights interactions between individuals and their surroundings at various levels. It then provides an example of using attachment theory as a theoretical framework to examine how the expression of romantic love differs across cultures.

16. Research Question:
How does the expression of romantic love differ across
cultures?
Theoretical Framework:
Attachment theory, proposed by John Bowlby, suggests that
individuals form attachment bonds with others based on their
experiences in early childhood. These attachment styles influence
how individuals express and perceive romantic love. For example,
individuals with secure attachment styles are more likely to have
healthy and fulfilling romantic relationships, while those with
insecure attachment styles may struggle with intimacy and
emotional closeness.
