This volume presents a conceptual, historical, anthropological, and
sociological review of how culture affects our experience and
expression of romantic love. What is romantic love and how is it
different from and similar to other kinds of love? How is romantic
love related to sex and marriage in human history and across
contemporary cultures? What cultural factors mediate attraction in
love? These are some of the questions the volume explores through
its interdisciplinary yet focused lens. Much of the current
research evidence suggests that love is a universal emotion
experienced by a majority of people, in various historical eras,
and in all the world's cultures. Yet, love displays in different
ways because culture has an impact on people's conceptions of love
and the ways they feel, think, and behave in romantic
relationships. This volume summarizes classical knowledge on love
and culture while at the same time focusing sharply on recent
studies and cutting-edge research that has advanced the field.
Divided into three parts, the volume begins by defining and
analyzing the concept of romantic love and interdisciplinary
approach to its study in cultural context. Part II traces the
origin and evolution of romantic love both in various places
throughout the world and various time periods throughout history.
Part III presents the revolutionary expansion of romantic love
ideas and practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in
various parts of the world, focusing particularly on the
development of romantic love as a cultural ideal of the modern
cultures. Finally, the book concludes by summarizing the major
achievements in this field of study and predicts future
development. A timely and thoughtful addition to the literature,
Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts delivers thought-provoking
insights to researchers in relationship scholarship, sociology,
anthropology, and cultural studies, and all those interested in the
universal human concept of love. Overall I find Dr. Victor
Karandashev is an excellent and fine scholar who has a firm grasp
of both the fundamental principles of cross-cultural research and
of anthropology. In our increasingly connected world Romantic Love
in Cultural Contexts updates and adds to the descriptions and
explanations of similarities and differences in romantic love
across generations and cultures. Romantic love encompasses the life
span, rather than being a phenomenon largely confined to youthful
years. The topic of this project concerns the deepest of our
sentiments and pervades life from birth to death. This book
contributes to better knowledge of this phenomenon across
generations. Felix Neto (Professor of Psychology) Faculdade de
Psicologia e de Ciencias da Educacao Universidade do Porto,

This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of cultural models
of emotions, with particular focus on how cultural parameters of
societies affect the emotional life of people in different cultural
contexts. Going beyond traditional dichotomy of West-East
comparison and related parameters of culture, such as
individualism-collectivism and power distance, it also examines
many other cultural dimensions that have received less attention in
mainstream research. Among the topics covered: Basic emotional
processes in cultural contexts Cultural complexity of emotions
Survival and self-expression cultural values Facial expressiveness
of emotion across cultures Cultural Models of Emotion is a
comprehensive review of international perspectives on
cross-cultural exploration of emotions, and will be a useful
resource for researchers in anthropology, sociology, psychology,
and communication studies.
This ambitious volume integrates findings from various disciplines
in a comprehensive description of the modern research on love and
provides a systematic review of love experience and expression from
cross-cultural perspective. It explores numerous interdisciplinary
topics, bringing together research in biological and social
sciences to explore love, probing the cross-cultural similarities
and differences in the feelings, thoughts, and expressions of love.
The book's scope, which includes a review of major theories and key
research instruments, provides a comprehensive background for any
reader interested in developing an enlightened understanding of the
cultural diversity in the concepts, experience, and expression of
love. Included among the chapters: How do people in different
cultures conceptualize love? How similar and different are the
experiences and expressions of love across cultures? What are the
cultural factors affecting the experience and expression of love?
Cross-cultural understanding of love as passion, joy, commitment,
union, respect, submission, intimacy, dependency, and more. A
review of the past and looking into the future of cross-cultural
love research. Critical reading for our global age, Cross-Cultural
Perspectives on the Experience and Expression of Love promotes a
thorough understanding of cross-cultural similarities and
differences in love, and in so doing is valuable not only for love
scholars, emotion researchers, and social psychologists, but also
for practitioners and clinicians working with multicultural couples
and families. "The most striking feature of this book is the broad
array of perspectives that is covered. Love is portrayed as a
universally found emotion with biological underpinnings. The text
expands from this core, incorporating a wide range of
manifestations of love: passion, admiration of and submission to a
partner, gift giving and benevolence, attachment and trust, etc.
Information on each topic comes from a variety of sources,
cross-culturally and interdisciplinary. The text is integrative
with a focus on informational value of ideas and findings. If you
take an interest in how love in its broadest sense is experienced
and expressed, you will find this to be a very rich text." Ype H.
Poortinga, Tilburg University, The Netherlands & Catholic
University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium "In this wide-ranging book,
Victor Karandashev expertly guides us through the dazzling
complexity of our concept and experience of love. Not only does he
show the many different ingredients that make up our conceptions of
love in particular cultures, such as idealization of the beloved,
commitment, union, intimacy, friendship, and others, he draws our
attention to the bewildering array of differences between their
applications in different cultural contexts, or to their presence
or absence in a culture. In reading the book, we also get as a
bonus an idea of how an elusive concept such as love can be
scientifically studied by a variety of methodologies - all to our
benefit. A masterful accomplishment." Koevecses Zoltan, Eoetvoes
Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary "Long considered a research
purview of only a portion of the world's cultures, we know today
that love is universal albeit with many cultural differences in
meaning, form, and expression. Moreover, love has a rich history of
scholarship across multiple disciplines. Within this backdrop,
Karandashev has compiled a remarkably comprehensive global review
of how people experience and express their emotions in love.
Covering the topic from a truly international and interdisciplinary
perspective, this book is an indispensable source of knowledge
about cultural and cross-cultural studies conducted in recent
decades and is a must read for anyone interested in the universal
and culturally diverse aspects of love." David Matsumoto, San
Francisco State University, Director of SFSU's Culture and Emotion
Research Laboratory

This volume presents a manual for a new method of studying implicit
attitudes, the Test of Implicit Associations in Relationship
Attitudes (TIARA). The main goal of this volume is to demonstrate
how to study the implicit attitudes that people have toward others
in their close relationships: friend, romantic partner, family
member, etc. Since the inception of the concept and measures of
implicit cognition, researchers have developed a number of indirect
measures to assess implicit attitudes. These similar yet different
methods aim to account for different variables for reliable and
valid operational definitions of implicit attitudes. Given the
progress made in the field of implicit measures, there is great
potential for further development and extension of these types of
assessments. Many of these methods (especially the Implicit
Attitude Test) are only limited to assessing attitudes within the
comparison of two bipolar concepts. Therefore, TIARA was developed
to be a manual for a new method of studying implicit attitudes in
relationships. As described in this volume, TIARA shows that if a
person strongly believes that certain feelings can be attributed to
a target relationship figure, the reaction time is shorter since
they are the most confident in their answer. Beginning with a
grounded explanation of the theory behind TIARA, the volume then
proceeds to explain its methods and procedures, and how to code,
score, and interpret the results of TIARA. Next, the volume reports
on six psychometric studies, which provide substantial evidence
that TIARA is a valid and reliable measure to study implicit
attitudes in relationship research. The volume concludes by
exploring practical applications of TIARA as well as its future
directions and current limitations. The detailed description of the
TIARA method provides a practical and handy tutorial for using the
method in research and practice for social and personality
psychologists, as well as practitioners.

"In diesem umfassenden Buch führt uns Victor Karandashev gekonnt
durch die schillernde Komplexität des Konzepts und unserer
menschlichen Erfahrung von Liebe. Er zeigt nicht nur die vielen
verschiedenen Bestandteile auf, aus denen sich Vorstellungen von
Liebe in bestimmten Kulturen zusammensetzen, wie die Idealisierung
des Geliebten, Bindung, Vereinigung, Intimität, Freundschaft und
andere, sondern lenkt unsere Aufmerksamkeit auch auf die
verwirrende Vielzahl von Unterschieden zwischen ihren Anwendungen
in verschiedenen kulturellen Kontexten oder auf ihr Vorhandensein
oder Fehlen in einer Kultur. Bei der Lektüre des Buches erhalten
wir als Bonus auch eine Vorstellung davon, wie ein schwer fassbares
Konzept wie die Liebe mit einer Vielzahl von Methoden
wissenschaftlich untersucht werden kann - zu unserem aller Nutzen.
Eine meisterhafte Leistung." Kövecses Zoltán, Eötvös Loránd
Universität, Budapest, Ungarn "Lange Zeit galt die Liebe als
Forschungsgegenstand nur in einem Teil der Weltkulturen, doch heute
wissen wir, dass sie universell ist, wenn auch mit vielen
kulturellen Unterschieden in Bedeutung, Form und Ausdruck. Darüber
hinaus hat die Liebe eine reiche Geschichte der Wissenschaft in
verschiedenen Disziplinen hervorgebracht. Vor diesem Hintergrund
hat Karandashev einen bemerkenswert umfassenden Überblick darüber
verfasst, wie Menschen ihre Gefühle in der Liebe erleben und
ausdrücken. Dieses Buch, welches das Thema aus einer wirklich
internationalen und interdisziplinären Perspektive behandelt, ist
eine unverzichtbare Wissensquelle über kulturelle und
kulturübergreifende Studien der letzten Jahrzehnte und ein Muss
für jeden, der sich für die universellen und kulturell
vielfältigen Aspekte der Liebe interessiert. " David Matsumoto,
