Document Summary
We are social creatures, ostrasicm is pain and leads to self-destructive behaviours. If interact with nice experimenter, prefer girl who looks like her. If interact with mean experimenter, avoid girl who looks like her rewarding to us or whom we associate with rewarding events. If watch erotic materials, score girlfriends higher on love scale. Misattribute arousal: men tend to fall in love more readily than women, women focus on friendship aspects, men focus on playful and physical aspects. Companionate love: the affection we feel for those with whom our lives are deeply intertwined, asians are more focused on practical aspects of social attachments and are less likely to disillusionment. Comes from believe that passionate love is key for marriage: asians also less likely to be self-focused, which can undermine relationships and lead to divorce. Secure attachment- attachments rooted in trust and marked by intimacy. Children to their mothers, free to explore and play when she is around.
