  • Love at First Sight
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Frontiers - Publisher Connector OPINION published: 28 July 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01113 Love at First Sight James A. Grant-Jacob * Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK Keywords: interpersonal attraction, love, emotion, interpersonal relationships, perception Evolved traits such as intuitive skills have allowed individuals to quickly evaluate a suitable sexual partner in about 100 ms (Olson and Marshuetz, 2005; Willis and Todorov, 2006; Todorov, 2008). Having determined that someone is attractive at first sight, an individual may become emotionally attached to that person and communicate their affection via a copulatory gaze, in which the individual gazes into the other person’s eyes for many seconds (Fisher, 1992). In this opinion piece, I discuss why an individual can become attracted to and emotionally attached to another person in an instant at first sight and I propose how such feelings may be requited and thus how love at first sight between two people can occur if the receiver of such attraction has similar attributes to the individual. A person’s perceived attractiveness can vary depending on the individual who is perceiving their attractiveness. Studies on attraction have shown that people are strongly sexually attracted to lookalikes in physical appearance (Folkes, 1982; Alvarez and Bolívar, 2004; Malin, 2004), with researchers having found that subjects rated pictures of faces morphed with their own face as being more attractive (Penton-Voak et al., 1999). In work by Zaidel et al. (2003), subjects found that those faces that were more attractive, were also more trustworthy.

  • Love at First Sight
    Love at First Sight Science is exploring the “mystery” of love at first sight. As it turns out, our search for Mr. or Mrs. Right might simply be an exercise, albeit a risky one, in the power of suggestion. STEPHEN BERTMAN 26 Volume 32, Issue 6 SKEPTICAL INQUIRER he song “Some Enchanted Evening” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s T South Pacific warns us that when it comes to explaining love at first sight, “Fools give you reasons. Wise men never try.” Notwith standing this lyrical warning, more and more psychologists are trying to solve this age-old mystery. According to a recent survey by marketing expert Earl Naumann (2001), almost two out of three Americans believe in love at first sight. Over half of them claim to have actually experi- enced it, and over half of those went on to marry the person they had instantly fallen in love with (Naumann 2001). In addition, 75 percent of those couples were still married at the time of Naumann’s study, a figure far higher than the national average. The theory of love at first sight goes all the way back to the days of the ancient Greeks, who worshiped the love goddess Aphrodite (the Romans would later call her Venus). Aphrodite Studies have shown that people who are in love look alike—more so than could overwhelm mere mortals with her immense power and chance would allow. take control of their lives by overriding both common sense and conscience. In one legendary case, a handsome Trojan prince into so many leather wallets and echoed with passion in the lyrics named Paris fell in love with a beautiful Spartan queen named of so many love songs.

  • Love (Components) Zahra Sattaur, Lisa Lashley, Charles Golden Nova
    Love (Components) Zahra Sattaur, Lisa Lashley, Charles Golden Nova Southeastern University, College of Psychology Several theories have emerged over the years to explain love. These theories have emerged in order to understand the nature of one’s experience of love in daily life. The two dominating theories on love are those proposed by John Alan Lee and Robert Sternberg. Lee’s model suggested a model which includes six styles of love, three which are primary, and three that are considered secondary. The primary styles of love are Eros or passionate love, Ludus or game-playing love, and Storge which is friendship-based love. The secondary styles of love are Pragma or practical love, Mania which is possessive love, and Agape which is altruistic love. Lee sought to describe the styles of loving in a relationship as opposed to describing types of people in the relationship. Sternberg’s triangular theory of love suggests that love can be explained via three components forming the ends of a triangle. At the top of the triangle is intimacy, while passion makes up the bottom left corner of the triangle, and decision and commitment make up the bottom right corner of the triangle. The position of these elements within the triangle has no significant relevance, but it useful to explain the overall model. This newer model of love has been proven in research to be more reliable and is more generally accepted, as it includes factors that are included in other models. Within this theory, the intimacy component refers to feeling close and connected in a relationship.

  • 2004 Dr. FUN's Stupid Cupid Awards
    2004 Dr. FUN’s Stupid Cupid Awards These mass media portrayals illustrate the 12 media myths and stereotypes of my Dr. FUN’s Mass Media Love Quiz©. It’s OK to enjoy them, but make sure you’re aware of the unhealthy models they promote. For each myth, see the comparable Dr. Galician’s Prescription™ in the Realistic Romance Awards listing. Dr. FUN’s Stupidest Cupid Award “Just Married” As evidenced by the number of nominations, this mean-spirited movie (a top- grosser in more ways than one!) promoted nearly all 12 harmful myths — from the notion that your perfect partner is pre-destined and nobody can separate you to the dangerous belief that bickering and fighting mean that you’re really passionate about each other. However, despite totally different values, Aston Kutcher and Brittany Murphy reunite for a “happy” ending. Myth No. 1: Your perfect partner is cosmically predestined, so nothing/nobody can ultimately separate you. Awardee: “Sleepless in Seattle” The only realistic line in this movie is Rosie O’Donnell’s (to Meg Ryan): “You want to be in love in a movie.” Of course, that movie is the equally absurd sentimentalized “soul mates” classic, “An Affair to Remember,” which is actually part of the plot of this very tired Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks vehicle. Insisting Tom is “the one,” Meg breaks her engagement to pursue this “fated” relationship, which is based on nothing but Tom’s radio voice. Wake me when it’s over! Myth No. 2: There’s such a thing as “love at first sight.” Awardee: Pop song “Love At First Sight” (Kylie Minogue) The title (repeated in the chorus) says it all – though a more apt description would be “lust” at first sight.

  • From Love at First Sight to Soul Mate: Romantic Ideals in Popular Films and Their Association with Young People‘S Beliefs About Relationships
    FROM LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT TO SOUL MATE: ROMANTIC IDEALS IN POPULAR FILMS AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH YOUNG PEOPLE‘S BELIEFS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS BY VERONICA HEFNER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Speech Communication in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Barbara J. Wilson, Chair Associate Professor John P. Caughlin Associate Professor Kristen Harrison Associate Professor Travis L. Dixon ABSTRACT Romantic comedy films have been popular since motion pictures first entered the media world. Scholars have speculated why these movies remain appealing to viewers and have argued for several reasons. These movies might foster hope about real-life romance (Galician, 2004), or demonstrate that that there are no limits to how love may manifest itself (Harvey, 1998). Despite this speculation, few studies have systematically investigated the content of these movies or the effects they may have on viewers. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate that potential. In particular, I conducted two studies that explored the nature of romantic ideals in romantic comedy films and their influence on viewer endorsement of romantic beliefs. The first study was a content analysis of the themes or romantic ideals embedded in romantic comedies. The second study was a survey designed to explore whether exposure to such films encourages the learning of romantic ideals among young people. The theories of uses and gratifications, social cognitive, and cultivation served to inform this project. I first analyzed the content of over 50 top-grossing films from the romantic comedy genre.

  • Triangular Theory of Love
    Triangular theory of love The triangular theory of love explains the topic of love in an interpersonal relationship. Psychologist Robert Sternberg’s theory describes types of love based on three different scales: intimacy, passion, and commitment. It is important to recognize that a relationship based on a single element is less likely to survive than one based on two or more. Different stages and types of love can be explained as different combinations of these three elements. For example, the relative emphasis of each component changes over time as an adult romantic relationship develops. Types of Love Combinations of intimacy, passion, and commitment Intimacy Passion Commitment Liking or Friendship x Infatuation or Limerence x Empty love x Romantic Love x x Companionate love x x Fatuous love x x Consummate love x x x 1. Liking in this case is not used in a trivial sense. Sternberg says that this intimate liking characterizes true friendships, in which a person feels a bondedness, a warmth, and a closeness with another but not intense passion or long-term commitment. 2. Infatuated love is often what is felt as "love at first sight." But without the intimacy and the commitment components of love, infatuated love may disappear suddenly. 3. Empty love: Sometimes, a stronger love deteriorates into empty love, in which the commitment remains, but the intimacy and passion have died. In cultures in which arranged marriages are common, relationships often begin as empty love. 4. Romantic love: Romantic lovers are bonded emotionally (as in liking) and physically through passionate arousal. 5. Companionate love is often found in marriages in which the passion has gone out of the relationship, but a deep affection and commitment remain.
