Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This timely volume offers an integrative approach and a culturally diverse view of love conceptions, experiences, and expressions, building on both individual and cultural typologies of love. It comprehensively presents cultural and cross-cultural studies on how culture affects love, and offers a systematic description of types and cultural models of love. The comprehensive reviews of methodology and findings provide a solid empirical basis for the creation of formal typologies.

This book will be useful for researchers interested in cross-cultural studies of love across many disciplines. Its accessible language also makes it ideal for undergraduate and graduate students. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

• Cultural conceptions of love and methods for their research
• Multiple perspectives in the studies of love across world cultures
• Cultural models and typologies in an international perspective
• Cultural models and typologies from an interdisciplinary scientific perspective
