PSYC 320 Chapter Notes - Chapter 9: Physical Attractiveness, Deborah Tannen, Homophobia
Document Summary
Triangular model of relationships proposed by sternberg conceptualized all relationships as consisting of varying amounts of three components - passion, intimacy and commitment. Companionate love is when people hare intimacy and commitment but lack passion. This type of of love forms the basis for love relationships that endure and may be more conducive to lasting love relationships than the type of passion that often begins intimate love relationships. However, companionate love also describes what people regard as close friendship. Companionate love = intimacy and commitment without passion. Romantic love = intimacy and passion without commitment. Empty love = commitment without passion or intimacy. Fatuous love = passion and commitment without intimacy. Infatuated love - passion without commitment or intimacy. Boys are also seeming playing in somewhat larger groups, to spend more time outside, and to engage in activities that involve gross motor skills, such as running, jumping and throwing a ball.
