USGG 4004 - Psychology of Love (0 Credit Hours)

What is love? Is love the same in other cultures? What determines who we fall in love with? Why do people in love sometimes behave irrationally? Do men and women love differently? We will explore these fundamental questions regarding human experience. The goal of this course is to define and explain the basic structure, functions, and theories of love, based on the most up-todate psychological research. We will cover major areas such as: the evolution and biological underpinnings of love; different stages in the development of love; and interpersonal processes within romantic relationships (such as conversation, conflict, etc.)
