This volume brings together in a single resource fourteen empirical
studies examining a variety of emotions and behaviors covering many
aspects of love, romance, and sexual interaction from recent issues
of Current Psychology. Scholars from universities and research
centers bring under the empiricist's microscope a variety of
emotions and behaviors, ranging from dating relationships, criteria
for the ideal mate held by both men and women, the relationship
between perceptions of parents and partners in a direct test of
psychoanalytic conceptualizations of mate selection, how the media
influence perceptions about love and romance, sources of marital
conflict, gender differences in responses to infidelity, and even
the attitudes of "consumers" toward prostitution. Contributors and
topics of discussion include: Albert Mehrabian and Jeffrey S. Blum,
"Physical Appearance, Attractiveness, and the Mediating Effect of
Emotions"; Gordon L. Flett, Paul L. Hewitt, Brenley Shapiro, and
Jill Rayman, "Perfectionism, Beliefs, and Adjustment in Dating
