Falling in Love: Why We Choose the Lovers We Choose |
|

Ayala Pines, "Falling in Love: Why We Choose the Lovers We Choose"
2000 | ISBN: 0415929199 | 304 pages | PDF | 2,2 MB
Don't be fooled by the frothy pink jacket art: this is a dense, academic volume. It addresses every conceivable aspect of the psychology of mate selection in late 20th-century America, giving equal emphasis to social and clinical approaches to understanding romance. The book's first half is devoted to an ambitious and inclusive survey of the experimental literature on the general factors that influence attraction, for example, similarity, geographical proximity, physical beauty and social status. The second half underscores the relevance of early childhood experiences with and between one's parents in understanding one's attraction to specific persons.
