passionate love

Examples of passionate love in the following topics:

• Attraction: Loving

  • Psychologist Robert Sternberg views love as a triangle whose three sides consist of passion, intimacy, and commitment.
  • Passionate love is an emotional love that is mostly expressed in a physical manner; it is a love that is shared between people who are intensely enamored with each other.
  • Often found in long-term relationships, the companionate love shared between partners consists of fewer ups and downs than does passionate love.
  • Romantic love derives from a combination of the intimate and passionate components of love.
  • Fatuous love is both passionate and committed, but lacks the stability that intimacy brings to relationships.

• Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

  • Maslow organized human needs into a pyramid that includes (from lowest-level to highest-level) physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
  • Once safety needs have been met, social needs for love/belonging become important.
  • This can include the need to bond with other human beings, the need to be loved, and the need to form lasting attachments.
  • Once love and belonging needs have been satisfied, esteem needs become more salient.

• Rogers' Humanistic Theory of Personality

  • In the development of the self-concept, Rogers elevated the importance of unconditional positive regard, or unconditional love.
  • When people are raised in an environment of conditional positive regard, in which worth and love are only given under certain conditions, they must match or achieve those conditions in order to receive the love or positive regard they yearn for.
  • A rich full life–they will experience joy and pain, love and heartbreak, fear and courage more intensely.

• Socioemotional Development in Late Adulthood

  • Many older adults contend with feelings of loneliness as their loves ones, partners, or friends pass away or as their children or other family members move away and live their own lives.
  • People in the United States tend to have strong resistance to the idea of their own death and strong emotional reactions of loss to the death of loved ones.
  • Whether due to illness or old age, not everyone facing death or the loss of a loved one experiences the negative emotions outlined in the Kübler-Ross model (Nolen-Hoeksema & Larson, 1999).

• Relationships and Families in Adulthood

  • The association between two people can be based on various factors—love, solidarity, business, or any other context that requires two (or more) people to interact.
  • Termination: The final stage marks the end of the relationship, either by breakup, death, or spatial separation and severing all existing ties of either friendship or romantic love.

• Influence of Parenting Style on Child Development

  • Permissive parenting tends to be warm and loving but lacks follow-through on setting limits or rules.
  • They tend to be very nurturing and loving and may play the role of friend rather than parent.

• Maslow's Humanistic Theory of Personality

  • He found that such people share similar characteristics, such as being open, creative, loving, spontaneous, compassionate, concerned for others, and accepting of themselves.
  • First physiological needs must be met before safety needs, then the need for love and belonging, then esteem, and finally self-actualization.

• Defining Motivation

  • For example, employees might do their work because they want the company to pay them, not because they love the work.
  • For example, say cooking is one of your favorite hobbies: you love to cook for others whenever you get a chance, and you can easily spend hours in the kitchen.
