Learning Objective 4 Takeaways : 学习目标 4 要点
- Although literature and art often portray love as mysterious, social psychologists have been applying scientific methods to study love for more than 50 years.
尽管文学和艺术常常将爱情描绘得神秘莫测，但社会心理学家已经运用科学方法研究爱情超过 50 年了。- In one study, researchers found that people could identify over 200 types of love.
在一项研究中，研究人员发现人们可以识别超过 200 种爱情类型。
- In one study, researchers found that people could identify over 200 types of love.
- We covered two main theories of love: the triangular theory of love and a theory differentiating passionate and companionate love.
我们涵盖了两种爱情的主要理论：爱情三角理论和区分激情爱情和伴侣爱情的理论。 - The triangular theory of love specifies that love arises from three components: passion, intimacy, and commitment. The pattern of these three components determines which type of love people experience.
爱情三角理论指出，爱情源于三个组成部分：激情、亲密和承诺。这三个组成部分的模式决定了人们所经历的爱情类型。- Passion is a drive state that leads people to pursue romantic, sexual relationships.
激情是一种驱动状态，使人们追求浪漫和性关系。 - Intimacy is a state in which two people feel a deep sense of closeness to each other.
亲密是两个人彼此感到深厚亲近感的一种状态。 - Commitment is the belief that a relationship will be long-lasting or permanent, regardless of any challenges it may face; it is one component of the triangular theory of love.
承诺是相信一段关系将持续或永久，无论它可能面临任何挑战；它是爱情三角理论的组成部分。 - Consummate love, an ideal form of love for a long-term relationship, is created when passion, intimacy, and commitment are all present.
完美的爱，是长期关系中理想的爱情形式，当激情、亲密和承诺都存在时，它便得以形成。
- Passion is a drive state that leads people to pursue romantic, sexual relationships.
- Passionate love is a type of love that involves intense longing for another person and physiological arousal when seeing or thinking about that person. People in passionate love also feel an intense sadness at the idea of not being with this person.
热烈的爱情是一种涉及对另一个人强烈渴望和看到或想到这个人时的生理唤起的爱情类型。处于热烈爱情中的人也会对不能与这个人在一起的想法感到强烈的悲伤。- Physiological arousal refers to the body’s reactions to seeing or thinking about the object of passionate love. These reactions include an increased heart rate, pupil dilation, and rapid breathing. It is not the same thing as sexual arousal.
生理唤起是指身体对看到或思考激情爱恋对象的反应。这些反应包括心率加快、瞳孔扩张和呼吸急促。这不同于性唤起。 - The theory of passionate love states that the novelty of a new romantic relationship brings fresh, positive interruptions to our lives. These interruptions can trigger heightened physiological reactions, explaining why feelings of excitement and passion are generally the strongest near the beginning of a relationship. These feelings fade to some degree as the relationship progresses and settles into something more stable.
爱情激情理论认为，一段新浪漫关系的 novelty 为我们的生活带来了新鲜、积极的干扰。这些干扰可以引发增强的生理反应，解释了为什么兴奋和激情的感觉通常在关系的初期最为强烈。随着关系的进展和稳定，这些感觉在一定程度上会减弱。
- Physiological arousal refers to the body’s reactions to seeing or thinking about the object of passionate love. These reactions include an increased heart rate, pupil dilation, and rapid breathing. It is not the same thing as sexual arousal.
- Companionate love is a strong affection for another person; this love involves deep feelings of intimacy.
伴侣之爱是对另一个人强烈的情感；这种爱涉及深刻的亲密感。- Intimacy is typically strengthened through mutual self-disclosure, a process in which people mutually share intimate details about their life with another person.
亲密感通常通过相互自我披露来加强，这是一个人们相互与另一个人分享生活中私密细节的过程。 - Examples of companionate love include close, lifelong friendships and parent–child relationships.
伴侣之爱的例子包括亲密的终身友谊和亲子关系。 - Unlike passionate love, people frequently have companionate love for multiple people at the same time.
与激情之爱不同，人们经常同时对多个人有伴侣之爱。
- Intimacy is typically strengthened through mutual self-disclosure, a process in which people mutually share intimate details about their life with another person.
- When the types of love that two people have for each other don’t match, problems can arise and the relationship can break if one partner tries to change the type of love the other partner is feeling.
当两个人对彼此的爱情类型不匹配时，可能会出现问题，如果一方试图改变另一方感受到的爱情类型，关系可能会破裂。 - In addition to the peripheral physiological arousal that accompanies passion, we discussed two brain areas that are involved in experiencing love: the ventral tegmental area and the caudate nucleus. Both are involved in feelings of pleasure and are associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine.
除了激情伴随的周围生理唤醒外，我们还讨论了两个与体验爱情相关的脑区：腹侧被盖区和尾状核。这两个区域都与愉悦感有关，并与人神经递质多巴胺相关。- Oxytocin is also an important neurotransmitter and hormone that is involved in the experience of love.
催产素也是一种重要的神经递质和激素，与爱的体验有关。
- Oxytocin is also an important neurotransmitter and hormone that is involved in the experience of love.
- Although human love is universal, different cultures view love differently.
尽管人类之爱是普遍的，但不同文化对爱的看法不同。- Western cultures tend to idealize passionate love whereas Eastern cultures tend to value companionate love.
西方文化倾向于理想化激情之爱，而东方文化则更重视伴侣之爱。 - These values reflect Western cultures’ desire for high-arousal positive emotions and Eastern cultures’ desire for low-arousal positive emotions.
这些值反映了西方文化对高唤醒积极情绪的渴望和东方文化对低唤醒积极情绪的渴望。
- Western cultures tend to idealize passionate love whereas Eastern cultures tend to value companionate love.
