Love Theories
"Love Theories" refer to various frameworks and ideas that attempt to explain the nature of love and relationships. These theories explore how love develops, the different types of love, and the factors that influence romantic connections. Common theories include the Triangular Theory of Love by Robert Sternberg, which identifies intimacy, passion, and commitment as key components of love.
Additionally, Attachment Theory suggests that early relationships with caregivers shape how individuals form romantic bonds later in life. Other theories, like Social Exchange Theory, focus on the costs and benefits of relationships, emphasizing that people seek to maximize rewards while minimizing costs in their romantic interactions.
