PSY-8 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Passing Fancy, Ellen S. Berscheid, Storge
Document Summary
Over the years, various schemes for classifying different types of love have been proposed. On the basis of ancient writings, sociologist john alan lee identified three primary love styles eros (erotic love), ludus (game-playing, uncommitted love), and storge (friendship love). As with primary colours, lee theorized, these three styles can be blended together to form new secondary types of love, such as mania (demanding and possessive love), pragma (pragmatic love), and agape (other-oriented, altruistic love). On a scale designed to measure these colours of love, men tend to score higher than women on ludus, while women score higher on storge, mania, and pragma. Intimacy: the emotional component, which involves liking and feelings of closeness. ( i have a comfortable relationship with ___. ) Passion: the motivational component, which contains drives that trigger attraction, romance, and sexual desire. ( just seeing ___ is exciting for me. )
