Question 2

Correct Answer:

People in more individualistic Western cultures are more likely than those in collectivistic Eastern cultures to view romantic love as an important or even crucial basis for marriage. In Eastern cultures, people take into greater consideration the wishes of the family or other important people, and arranged marriages are not uncommon. In fact, responses from a heterogeneous sample of Canadian college students revealed that Asian respondents were more likely than European or Anglo-Celtic respondents to endorse a companionate, friendship-based love that was not disruptive of existing family relationships. Also, research on the emotions associated with love show both similarities, in that the experience of passionate and erotic love seems to exist in most cultures, and differences. For example, Shaver et al. (1992) find a "sad love" cluster in Chinese conceptions of love, which is not a prominent theme in Western conceptions.

The social exchange theory of interpersonal attraction can be considered to be a(n) ________ model.
