Caveats
Relationships research has historically favored monogamous, heterosexual relationships
Research has also favored White, Western relationships
Important differences exist based on race, culture, and country
Most research is observational (for good reason)
Limits our ability to make causal claims, limited internal validity
Initial Attraction
When forming schemas of others, we quickly notice our own attraction to them
Attraction is an automatic, affective response
Serves to focus attention, resources
1. Physical attractiveness
We are more interested in, drawn to, and fond of people we find physically attractive
Why does physical attractiveness matter so much?
Biological Physical attractiveness cues ability to provide resources and produce healthy offspring
Symmetrical faces, clear skin, healthy hair all signal genetic fitness
Societal Attraction signals social awareness, value, and desirability
Halo effect Attractive people are perceived a friendlier, cleaner, etc.
2. Similarity
We are attracted to people that are similar to us in:
Culture, identity
Interests, values, hobbies
Physical attractiveness
What about “opposites attract?”
“My friend Katie is an extrovert and her partner is an introvert”
“Katie is a White, college-educated, Jewish, Democratic, millennial extrovert and her partner is a White, college-educated, Jewish, Democratic, millennial introvert”
2. Similarity
Why do we care about similarity?
We like ourselves, and therefore like people similar to ourselves
I listen to rap music, so if you listen to rap music you have great taste
Similar people feel familiar to us, and we like familiarity
If you grew up in the same area as me, I have a positive association towards you
Similarity contributes to trust and cooperation
I go to Miami University, so if you do too, I can trust you more
Similarity reduces the likelihood of being rejected
I have more I can say/do to impress you if we have shared interests
3. Positive interactions
We are more attracted to people when we have positive interactions with them
This can come from a single, incredibly positive experience with someone
It can also come from frequent, generally positive experiences
Generally, we like the people we are around in the absence of any negative experiences
Gender Differences
Men and women are much more similar than different in their partner preferences
Partner preference differs more by type of relationship
Short-term mate preference We favor si.
Love and hate are two of the most powerful and complex emotions that humans experience. They often seem diametrically opposed, yet both have the capacity to drive individuals to extreme actions. Exploring the depths of these emotions reveals a fascinating interplay between passion, psychology, and societal influence.
Psychologis Robert Sternberg planned a three-sided hypothesis of Adoration and contended that affection has three unique parts: Intimacy,Commitment and Passion.Intimacy is a structure where two individuals share confidences and different subtleties of their own lives, and is generally displayed in fellowships and heartfelt love affairs.Commitment then again is the assumption that the relationship is extremely durable, and the last type of affection is physical allure and passion.Passionate love is displayed in fixation as well as heartfelt love. All types of affection are seen as shifting blends of these three parts. Non-love does exclude any of these parts. Preferring just incorporates closeness. Charmed love just incorporates energy. Void love just incorporates responsibility. Heartfelt love incorporates both closeness and enthusiasm. Companionate love incorporates closeness and responsibility. Inane love incorporates energy and responsibility. In conclusion, perfect love incorporates every one of the three parts.
American clinician Zick Rubin tried to characterize love by psychometrics during the 1970s. His work expresses that three variables comprise love: connection, mindful, and closeness.
Clinician Erich Fromm kept up with in his book The Craft of Cherishing that adoration isn't simply an inclination but on the other hand is activities, and that as a matter of fact, the "feeling" of adoration is shallow in contrast with one's obligation to cherish through a progression of adoring activities over the long run. In this sense, Fromm held that affection is eventually not an inclination by any means, yet rather is a pledge to, and adherence to, cherishing activities towards another, oneself, or numerous others, over a supported span. Fromm likewise depicted love as a cognizant decision that in its beginning phases could start as a compulsory inclination, however which afterward no longer relies upon those sentiments, yet rather relies just upon cognizant responsibility.
Surely love is affected by chemicals (like oxytocin), neurotrophins (like NGF), and pheromones, and what individuals think and act in adoration is meant for by their originations of adoration. The ordinary view in science is that there are two significant drives in adoration: physical allure and connection. Connection between grown-ups is attempted to deal with the very rules that lead a newborn child to become appended to its mom. The customary mental view views love similar to a mix of companionate love and enthusiastic love. Energetic love is deep yearning, and is many times joined by physiological excitement (windedness, fast pulse); companionate love is warmth and a sensation of closeness not joined by physiological excitement.
In her book, Why We Love: The Nature and Science of Heartfelt Love, Helen Fischer - - - an American Anthropologist, human conduct researcher, and driving Master on science of adoration and attraction. She recommended that mankind has developed t

1. What gets us together and then keeps us that way
PRESENTED BY-

2. What exactly is it ?
An attitude ?
A phenomenon ?
Hard to define – can it be measured ?
Falling in love can induce a calming effect on
the body and mind, raising levels of nerve
growth factor for up to a year.
3. A strong affection for one another arising out of :
Personal ties
Attraction based on sexual desire
Affection based on admiration, benevolence, or
common interests
4. The Love Scale had three components:
Attachment – the desire for another’s presence
and emotional support
Caring – concern for the other’s well being
Intimacy – desire for close, confidential
communication
5. Is the Love Scale meaningful ?
Maybe, couples who scored high
spend more time looking in each
others eyes
6. Passionate
A state of extreme absorption with and desire
for another
Intense feelings – sexual desire, then vacillating
from anxiety to ecstasy
wide-spread physiological arousal
Ignorance is bliss
7. Typically hits fast
Logic is pushed aside
Can lead to premature commitments
Or, the big fade
8. Based on friendly affection and deep attachment due
to extensive familiarity
Less intense
Knowing and forgiving
Willing to work
Endures after passion evaporates
9. Sex is rich, mature, communicative, willing to
take risks
While occasionally passionate love can reemerge
as companionate love, sometimes the reverse
happens and old friends or co-workers can see
their affections ignite sexually
10. Love’s Three Faces
Passion
Fuels romantic feelings and desire for sexual
interaction and unification
Similar to an addiction, intensity causes a
powerful craving
11. Intimacy
The emotional component
A sense of bonding
Warmth, sharing, emotional
closeness
Willing to help and share private
essence
12. Commitment
The cognitive aspect
A conscious decision to love another
The choice to maintain a relationship
despite challenges
13. Putting it all together
Sternberg explains the transition from
passionate to companionate love
Passionate love develops rapidly and intensely,
then declines. Intimacy and commitment grow. If
they don’t, the drop in passion likely signals
the relationship’s end.
14. The interplay of these three components and
their varying power over time results in
differences in how we experience love.
Isolating and combining the three faces gives
us informative labels for differing types of love.
15. Infatuation – just passion
Empty (love) – commitment only
Companionate – intimacy & commitment
Romantic – passion & intimacy
Consummate – love that has it all
16. Research shows that:
1) the presence of intimacy and commitment
predict stability and duration,
2) married have more commitment
3) intimacy continually rises in long term
relationships
4) passion drops more sharply for women
17. Why do we fall in love?
Is it to escape loneliness?
To answer our deepest need?
The ultimate extension of our social network?
18. Geographic nearness
The Mere Exposure Effect – repeated contact
with novel stimuli tends to increase liking for the
stimuli
People also tend to meet in locations engaging
in activities that reflect common interests – the
NHSLS confirms this
19. Lovers often share beliefs, values, attitudes,
interests and intellect
Usually they have similar levels of physical
attractiveness
Homophily – tendency to have relationships with
those of equal education, social status, age, religion,
etc.
20. We tend to like people who like us
Couples who show equal levels of affection last
longer
21. Attractive people ate both sought as friends
and lovers and perceived as possessing many
desired qualities
We like to look at them
We think they have more to offer
We like being seen with them
Maybe they are more confident
We think they are healthier
22. Plenty of proximity
Similar interests
Same social class
Abundant reciprocity
Both physically attractive
23. Is this preference innate?
Men, world-wide, are especially influenced by
physical attractiveness in particular youth and
healthiness.
Desire to maximize reproductive capabilities?
But as time goes on the importance of beauty
fades.
24. An intense emotional tie between two individuals,
usually, but not always, mother and child
Three major styles
1) Secure – Mom as base for exploration, only
moderately distressed when she leaves,
reassured at return, then more exploration
25. 2) Anxious-Ambivalent – marked by extreme
separation anxiety
3) Avoidant – cannot decide if they want to be
close to Mom or not
Both styles result from child’s temperament and
Mom’s parenting
26. Children with secure attachment
show much greater social
competence
Easier to get close to people
No fear of abandonment
27. Loving, sexual relationships have their
downside, more:
criticism
conflict
ambivalence, and
talk
If that wasn’t enough – less tolerance
28. There is a complex interplay between love and
sex.
For while most of us can be sexually attracted
to someone we do not love, feelings of love and
sexual attraction are usually both present and
desired.
29. Evaluate your expectations and needs
Think about your values
Decide how you will protect yourself and your
partner from complications
30. Will the decision to engage in a sexual
relationship – with this person, right now –
increase positive feelings about myself and my
partner?
If the answer is NO – communication is a must.
31. Most of us want it crisp and clear
The one breaking off the relationship suffers
more?
Perhaps they initially feel guilt, discomfort, etc.
But who feels worse two weeks later?
32. unrequited love – 90% have loved someone
who doesn’t feel the same way.
Is it an appraisal of your worth/value?
No, usually just personal preference
“Better to have loved and lost than …”?
But what about that withdrawal effect?
33. An unpleasant emotional reaction brought to
life by a real or imagined relationship involving
one’s partner and a third party
Is it a necessary sign of love?
Or is it a sign of someone losing what they
control or possess?
A blow to self-esteem?
34. People with low esteem
Those who see a big gap between who they are
and who they would like to be, an idealized self
image
People who highly value status and physical
attractiveness
?
35. Can cause violence both in marriages and
dating relationships
Usually it is directed against lover/partner
rather than the rival
Mix in alcohol ….
36. All due to evolution?
Men fear that “their" children are really
someone else’s?
Women fear that emotional “betrayal” will
soon be followed by abandonment,
jeopardizing her children’s future?
Does perceived parenting ability play a role?
37. People often have to deal with ex-partner
still being around
If you are the one who was left, Ex-partner
is constant reminder of rejection.
38. "Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the
strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than
star."
— E.E. Cummings
"Love is a smoke and is made with the fume of sighs."
— William Shakespeare
"Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If
you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write
stories that other people love, you'll never make it."
— Ray Bradbury
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot
and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning
and unquenchable."
— Bruce Lee
39. Humse pucho kya hota hai pal pal bitana,Bahut mushkil hota hai dil ko
samjana,Yaar zindagi toh beet jayegi,Bus mushkil hota hai kuch logo ko bhul
pana.
Ishq sabhi ko jena sikha deta hai,wafa ke naam par marna sikha deta hai,ishq
nahi kiya to karke dekho,zalim har dard sehna sikha deta hai!
Toota ho dil to dukh hota hai,Karke mohabbat kisi se ye dil rota hai,Dard ka
ehsaas to tab hota hai,Jab kisi se mohabbat ho aur uske dil mai koi aur hota hai.
