...A Triangular Theory of Love This article presents a triangular theory of love. According to the theory, love has three components: (a) intimacy, which encompasses the feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness one experiences in loving relationships; (b) passion, which encompasses the drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, and sexual consummation; and (c) decision/commitment, which encompasses, in the short term, the decision that one loves another, and in the long term, the commitment to maintain that love. The amount of love one experiences depends on the absolute strength of these three components, and the kind of love one experiences depends on their strengths relative to each other. The three components interact with each other and with the actions that they produce and that produce them so as to form a number of different kinds of loving experiences. The triangular theory of love subsumes certain other theories and can account for a number of empirical findings in the research literature, as well as for a number of experiences with which many are familiar firsthand. It is proposed that the triangular theory provides a rather comprehensive basis for understanding many aspects of the love that underlies close relationships. What does it mean "to love" someone? Does it always mean the same thing, and if not, in what ways do loves differ from each other? Why do certain loves seem to last, whereas others disappear almost as quickly as they are formed...

...Power of Love and Relationships Ashford University Psychology 301 Professor Michelle A. Abstract “We tend to like those who are similar to us in values and interests rather than those who are different. We prefer to not over benefit or under benefit in a relationship, but have a relationship characterized by equity. We also tend to like those who like us and only us” (Feenstra, 2013). In this paper I will describe the factors of attractions and what attracts us to one another. Also I will discuss why we are likely to befriend someone from another culture than someone from a similar background with a similar physical aesthetic. The human need to build bonds and relationships will also be discussed. If we have an innate need to belong, the attachment to our emotions, social bonds, and our fear of deprivation will be outlined. I will also explain the three types of love and describe the differences and similarities between them. Sternberg’s triangular theory of love will be discussed as well. Power of Love and Relationships In life we cross many people and our interaction and relationship differs every time. Feenstra states that first-year students were more likely to develop a friendship with someone they sat next to during an introductory session than those they were not sitting near (Feenstra, 2013). This is true as I have witnessed when I was a student on campus. I tended to gravitate towards those who were in my class. “The most important factor in our liking...

...a choice but more of a response to circumstances that do not offer the opportunity for another alternative like marriage. This thought is also supported by Buambusch J. L. (2004, p 9)) when it says that none of the participants had consciously chosen single life; this is demonstrated in their short term plans in anticipation of future marriage. The theories that will be examined in this paper are the Sternberg’s typology of love and connectedness, theories of interpersonal attraction and attachment styles in intimate relationships. Psychologist Robert Sternberg (1988) created his influential triangular theory of love. He believed that different types of love (liking, infatuated love, empty love, romantic love, companionate love, fatuous love and consummate love) arise from different combinations of three basic components, namely intimacy, passion and commitment. Coon and Mitterer, (2010). If a person has been in numerous relationships and has never felt that he or she has achieved a proper combination of the three components that give rise to consummate love, they might be discouraged and opt to be single for the rest of their lives. “But I think I never trusted the fact that maybe I...

...Relationships Part 1 Robert Sternberg’s triangular theory of love is based on three dimensions: passion, intimacy, and commitment. In Sternberg’s model passion, intimacy, and commitment each represent one side of a triangle describing the love shared by two people. Passion means strong emotion, excitement, and physiological arousal, often tied to sexual desire and attraction. Intimacy refers to mutual understanding, warm affection, and mutual concern for the other person’s welfare. Commitment is the conscious decision to stay in a relationship for the long haul. By putting together different combinations of the three ingredients, Sternberg’s model describes several varieties of love and the specific components of romantic and companionate love (Baumgardner and Crothers, 2009). Romantic love is a combination of intimacy and passion. It is more than infatuation, its liking with the added excitement of physical attraction but without commitment. Companionate love is slow-developing love built on high intimacy and a strong commitment. When youthful passions fade in a marriage, companionate love, based on deep, affectionate friendship provides a solid foundation for a lasting and successful relationship. Fatuous love combines high passion and commitment with the absence of intimacy. The commitment is based on passion and sustained solely by passion. Infatuated love is based only on passion, without intimacy or commitment. Empty love has no passion or intimacy, just a commitment...

...The Middle Passage was the triangular slave trade route between 1450 and 1860. It was called the triangular trade because he trade was between three countries. First, commercial goods were shipped to Africa for and traded for African slaves. The slaves were then brought to the Americas in exchange for raw materials. Finally the materials were brought back to Europe to complete the triangle. “For weeks, months, sometimes as long as a year, they waited in the dungeons of the slave factories scattered along Africa's western coast. They had already made the long, difficult journey from Africa's interior but just barely. Out of the roughly 20 million who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery, half didn't complete the journey to the African coast, most of those dying along the way” (T.M.P. 1) The Middle Passage was used by many ships carrying slaves to the Americas. African slaves were brought to the New World unwillingly. They were either purchased or kidnapped. The Middle Passage took about ninety days. However, at times it would take roughly a few months to transport Africans. None of them knew of the horrible journey they were about to encounter. “The system by which these human beings were been transported across the ocean was reported to be the worst of its kind in the history of mankind” (Adeuyan 40). The conditions aboard the ships crossing the Atlantic were horrible. Hundreds of slaves were packed below the deck of the ships. Slaves had to go to the bathroom...

...The Plantation Sugar – The New Age The sole cash crop that crushed the exportation of cotton and tobacco and reigned in the Caribbean for the next two hundred (200) years was sugar. Dutch colonists in Brazil were the 1st to grow sugar extensively. They then taught the English, in Barbados, ways of cultivation and manufacture in 1644 and soon “sugar was king”. By 1650, Barbados was the primary sugar-producer and was known as “the brightest jewel in the crown of King Charles II”. Other French colonies soon followed Barbados. The Sugar Revolution Definition Sugar Revolution – drastic change from producing a variety of crops to sugar cane ONLY. Implications of the Sugar Revolution/ Changes brought about by the Sugar Revolution: a) New Methods of producing sugar – The English and French began inventing new and better ways of processing sugar cane. b) The Labour Force – Planting and processing sugar cane required extensive labour force. The planters wanted work to be done using the cheapest labour force, which in the end, would mean greater profits for them when the sugar was sold. Thus, an increasing number of African slaves were used. c) Increase in the price of Land: Great sugar plantations developed by buying the small plots of land that were used to cultivate tobacco. As sugar became more profitable, the demand for land increased, which caused the price of land to increase. d) Change in governance – As the English French and Dutch colonies...

...Tear of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC): The TFCC can be acutely injured if the wrist is subjected to a large compressive load in a position of extension and ulnar deviation as this causes increased load and impinges the TFCC between the distal ulnar and the proximal carpal row. Whilst Degenerative changes have most commonly been associated with increased age, overuse injuries or positive ulnar variance which causes ulnocarpal impaction during wrist movements and degradation of the TFCC This is where I will place your video submission. You do not need to do anything here. This is just a space saver. This is where I will place your video submission. You do not need to do anything here. This is just a space saver. Typical patient features and presenting history: Populations most at risk of TFCC tears are gymnasts and racquet sport players due to the large compressive forces applied to the wrist in extension and ulnar deviation or patients with the degenerative conditions listed above. Patients with a TFCC tear will present with ulnar sided wrist pain and a “clicking” sensation during movements such as wrist extension and ulnar deviation. The mechanism of injury will normally be a traumatic incident (i.e. A fall onto on outstretched hand) or a history of repetitive compressive activities applied to the wrist, such as tennis. When describing their symptoms the patient should describe symptoms that are aggravated by activity and improve with rest. They may also report...

...Toolbox Part I. Background. It is not easy to calculate eigenvalues for most matrices. Characteristic polynomials are difficult to compute. Even if you know the characteristic polynomial, algorithms such as Newton's method for finding zeros cannot be depended upon to produce all the zeros with reasonable speed and accuracy. Fortunately, numerical analysts have found an entirely different way to calculate eigenvalues of a matrix A, using the fact that any matrix similar to A has the same eigenvalues. The idea is to create a sequence of matrices similar to A which converges to an upper triangular matrix; if this can be done then the diagonal entries of the limit matrix are the eigenvalues of A. The remarkable discoveries are that the method can be done with great accuracy, and it will converge for almost all matrices. In practice the limit matrix is just block upper triangular, not truly triangular (because only real arithmetic is done), but it is still easy to get the eigenvalues from that. See Note 2 below. The primary reason that modern implementations of this method are efficient and reliable is that a QR factorization can be used to create each new matrix in the sequence. Each QR factorization can be calculated quickly and accurately; it yields easily a new matrix orthogonally similar to the original matrix; and orthogonal similarities tend to...
