EPSY 333 - The Science of Love

Students will explore the nature and psychology of love in our important relationships: both parent-child and romantic. Three general areas are explored, including (1) Why the nature of a child’s tie to her parents is critical to adaptation from cradle to grave; (2) How culture and biology interact to inform variations in mate selection and sexual bonding; and (3) What biological and cultural mechanisms are responsible for transmitting individual expectations for love from our parent relationships to our sexual relationships and then to our own children.
