SHORT ANSWER

ANS:
Companionate love involves feelings of deep affection, attachment, intimacy, and ease with the
partner, as well as the development of trust, loyalty, acceptance, and a willingness to sacrifice for the
partner.

MSC: TYPE: Medium
2. Why does purely erotic love not last?
ANS:
Erotic lovers speak of their immediate attraction to their lover, to his or her eyes, skin, fragrance, or
body. Most have the picture of an ideal partner in their mind, which a real partner cannot fulfill.

3. Explain how Schachter and Singer’s experiment using epinephrine with students provided valuable
information on the relationship between physiological arousal and love
ANS:
In a famous experiment, Schachter and Singer (1962) gave students a shot of epinephrine (adrenaline),
which causes general arousal, including sweaty palms, increased heart rate, increased breathing, and so
on. Some of the students were informed of what to expect from the epinephrine; others were not.
Each group was put into a waiting room with a student who was acting happy or a student who was
acting angry. When they felt aroused, the informed students assumed they were feeling the effects of
the epinephrine. However, the uninformed students tended to believe they were feeling happy or
angry. Schachter and Singer concluded that an emotion happens when there is general physiological
arousal for whatever reason and a label is attached to it—and that label might be any emotion.

4. Summarize the behavioral reinforcement theory of love.
ANS:
Behavioral reinforcement theory suggests that we like people we associate with feeling good and love
people if the association is very good. Love develops through a series of mutually reinforcing
activities.

MSC: TYPE: Medium
5. Elaborate on the research on pheromones and sexual orientation.
ANS:
Research on pheromones and sexual orientation has found that homosexual men and heterosexual men
respond differently to odors that are involved in sexual attraction, with homosexual men responding in
similar ways as heterosexual women (Savic et al., 2005).
PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's: Analyze

6. Differentiate between love and intimacy.
ANS:
Love relationships can last many years. As time goes by, love and relationships grow and change, and
trying to maintain a sense of stability and continuity while still allowing for change and growth is
probably the single greatest challenge of long- term love relationships.
Attaining intimacy is different from loving. We can love our cat, our favorite musician, or a great
leader, but intimacy requires reciprocity—it takes two. Intimacy is a dance of two souls, each of whom
must reveal a little, risk a little, and try a lot. In some ways, therefore, true intimacy is more difficult to
achieve than true love because the emotion of love may be effortless, whereas the establishment of
intimacy always requires effort.

7. Identify at least one question related to personal values and motivations that an individual should
consider before deciding to engage in a sexual relationship.
ANS:
1. Have you clarified your values? What role does love play in your sexual decisions? How will you
reconcile these values with those you have learned from your family, friends, and religion?
2. Are you being honest with yourself? What do you really want out of this encounter? Out of this
person? Are you hoping the sexual contact will lead to something deeper, or are you in it simply for
the sex?
3. Are you being honest with your partner? Why is your partner interested in sex with you? Do his or
her expectations differ from yours? Will she or he be hurt if your relationship does not develop
further?

OBJ: LO12: Identify at least two questions related to personal values and motivations that an

MSC: TYPE: Medium
8. Jealousy can have a negative impact on a relationship. How can jealousy be contained?
ANS:
Jealousy can be contained by trying to improve one’s own self-image, by turning it around into a
compliment (not “she’s flirting with other guys” but “look at how lucky I am—other guys also find her
attractive”) and by trusting one’s partner. Communicating with your partner about your jealous
feelings can often help to maintain your relationship (Guerrero & Aff, 1999). Opening up and talking
about your uncertainty about the relationship or reassessing the relationship can help restore and
strengthen the relationship.

9. One study found that 50% of heterosexual female seniors reported being asked out by a man on six or
more dates while at college; one third of respondents said they had been on only two or fewer dates
(Glenn & Marquardt, 2001). Why might there be less “dating” today?
ANS:
First, the sexual revolution has changed society’s attitudes about sexuality, making casual sex more
acceptable. In addition, college women report having more negative appraisals of college men,
engaging in fewer traditional dates, and being less likely to have a college boyfriend (Uecker et al.,
2010).

10. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of cohabitation.
ANS:
Cohabitation allows couples to learn more about each other’s habits and idiosyncrasies, share finances,
and mature in their relationship. Yet there are potential disadvantages. Parents and relatives may not
support the union, and society as a whole tends not to recognize people who live together for purposes
of health care or taxes. Also, the partners may want different things out of living together: One partner
may view it as a stronger commitment to the relationship, whereas the other sees it as a way to have a
more accessible sexual partner.
