Darnell and Denise have been happily dating for months; however, they do not feel compelled to make a long-term commitment yet.
Psychologist Robert Sternberg would call their relationship __________.

a) consummate love
b) companionate love
c) romantic love
d) liking

Respuesta :

Answer:

c) romantic love

Explanation:

According to Sternberg, love can be "understand" like a triangle, with each point representing a stage. So we have the Intimacy (feelings), Passion (physical attraction) and finally, the Decision/Commitment (the desire to go forward in the relationship). Based on this triangular theory, Robert Sternberg describes seven types of love that can be included in one of these stages (or more of them, depending on the love). In the case of Darnell and Denise, they have romantic love, and we can put them on the Passion stage, because they love each other, but they don't feel ready to go ahead on the relationship.
