    Study Notes

    Chapter 9: Love and Romantic Relationships

    • This chapter explores love and romantic relationships, without assigned reading.
    • Learning objectives focus on understanding Sternberg's theory of love, attraction factors, and mate preferences.

    Learning Objectives

    • Describe Sternberg's three defining features of love and their seven sub-types.
    • Explain traits that people find appealing in others.
    • Detail the impact of resources, status, and beauty on male and female mate preferences, and reasoning behind these choices.

    Defining Love and Romantic Attraction

    • Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love: Love is composed of three elements:
      • Passion: Romantic attraction, sexual desire, strong feelings, physiological arousal, and lust.
      • Intimacy: Close bonding, emotional closeness, sharing.
      • Commitment: The decision of being in love and staying committed to another, over time.
    • Factor Analysis: A statistical method to group similar traits or behaviors into conceptual categories.

    Types of Love

    • The three elements of love (intimacy, passion, and commitment) combine to create different types of love. These are visualized through a triangle diagram.

    Do Birds of a Feather Flock Together, or Opposites Attract?

    • Assortative Mating: People tend to choose partners who are more similar to themselves than random chance would suggest.
    • Positive Correlation: The traits of couples often have a positive correlation, implying similar traits.
    • Horowitz et al. (2023): Studied partner correlations through 199 studies and the UK Biobank data, finding positive correlation for many traits (e.g., political views, smoking, education).

    Who is Sexually Attractive?

    • Adornment: Variations in adornment across cultures and time, but certain features (symmetry, health) viewed attractive universally.
    • Young Faces: Generally considered more attractive than older faces.
    • Symmetry: More symmetrical faces/bodies are considered more attractive, sexy, and healthy.
    • Composite Faces: Composite faces (averaged from many faces) rated more attractive than individual ones.
    • Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR): Women with a WHR around 0.7 and men with a WHR around 0.8 are considered most attractive, but shape preference varies culturally.
    • Shoulder-to-Hip Ratio (SHR): and waist-to-shoulder ratio (WSR) are also considered in attractiveness.

    Status vs. Beauty

    • 14,399 Participants' Preferences: Across 45 countries, men and women’s mate preferences (rated ideal match for a long-term partner) were analysed
    • Preference for Health, Kindness and Intelligence: Men and women show similar preferences.
    • Physical Attractiveness: A key factor for both sexes, but men usually prioritize this aspect more.
    • Financial Prospects: Women also place considerable importance on good financial prospects, and slightly older partners.

    Other Considerations

    • Same-Sex Attraction: Same-sex attraction is common, but there is still less known about transgender and non-binary individuals.
