passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components. American psychologist Zick Rubin sought to define love by psychometrics in the 1970s. His work states that three factors constitute love:
attachment, caring, and intimacy . developments in electrical theories such as Coulomb's law, which showed that positive and negative charges attract, analogs in human life were developed, such as opposites attract. Over the last century, research on the nature of human mating has generally found this not to be true when it comes to character and personality-people tend to like people similar to themselves. However, in a few unusual and specific domains, such as immune systems, it seems that humans prefer others who are unlike themselves (eg, with an orthogonal immune system), since this will lead to a baby that has the best of both worlds. In recent years, various human bonding theories have been developed, described in terms of attachments, ties, bonds, and affinities.Western authorities disaggregate into two main components, the altruistic and the narcissistic. This view is represented in the works of Scott Peck, whose work in the field of applied psychology explored the definitions of love and evil. Peck maintains that love is a combination of the concern for the spiritual growth of another, and simple narcissism. In combination, love is an activity , not simply a feeling.psychologist Eric Fromm also maintained in his book The art of loving that love is not merely a feeling but is also actions, and that in fact, the feeling of love is superficial in comparison to ones commitment to love via a series of loving actions over time. [In this sense, Fromm held that love is ultimately not a feeling at all, but rather is a commitment to, and adherence to, loving actions towards another, ones self, or many others, over a sustained duration. Fromm also described Love as a conscious choice that in its early stages might originate as an involuntary feeling, but which then later no longer depends on those feelings, but rather depends only on conscious commitment.
Comparison of scientific models
Biological models of love tend to see it as a mammalian drive, similar to hunger or thirst. Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon. There are probably elements of truth in both views. Certainly love is influenced by hormones (such as oxytocin), neurotrophins (such as NGF), and pheromones, and how people think and behave in love is influenced by their conceptions of love. The conventional view in biology is that there are two major drives in love: sexual attraction and attachment. Attachment between adults is presumed to work on the same principles that lead an infant to become attached to its mother. The traditional psychological view sees love as being a combination of companionate love and passionate love. Passionate love is intense longing, and is often accompanied by physiological arousal (shortness of breath, rapid heart rate); companionate love is affection and a feeling of intimacy not accompanied by physiological arousal.
TEENAGE LOVE
Some people think of Teen Love and smile. It s not real love, they say. Puppy Love, they call it. Is it puppy love? Is it trial love? Is it true love? It seems that most teenagers are getting involved with members of the opposite sex as a form of entertainment. Those people, I think, have very short memories, and no longer recall the realities of their first love experiences. While few expect teen love to last a life time, that hardly makes it less real. Half or more of all adult love doesn t last a lifetime either. Teen love is very real and powerful. Perhaps at no other time in our lives are the joys and pains felt as strongly, or experienced more deeply. Who among us, after all, can ever forget our first love? Thus the first love which has happened during your teen age can not be totally forgotten.it puppy love? Is it trial love? Is it true love? It seems that most teenagers are getting involved with members of the opposite sex as a form of entertainment. But when getting involved with anyone it puts feelings on the line. A friend once told me that she was going out with a guy not because she loved him, but because she wanted something to do on weekends. When the relationship was over, she cried. Why did she cry? Was she actually in love with him? Or did this mean that she would have to pay for her own movie ticket for a while? Of the relationships that lasted about a month (on and off) has taken several months from which to recover. It was so difficult for the girl to recover form it.What if he was my firs...
