{"Image DocumentName": "Culture and LoveLove can vary in definition and behavior in different societies.", "Image ImageDescription": "We all love, but we do not necessarily all love in the same way\u2014or at least we don\u2019t describe it in the same way. Romantic love is nearly universal in the human species, but cultural rules alter how that emotional state is experienced, expressed, and remembered. (Levinger, 1994). As Robert Moore (1998) noted in summarizing his research in the People\u2019s Republic of China, Young Chinese do fall deeply in love and experience the same joys and sorrows of romance as young Westerners do. But they do so according to standards that require \uf0bc the individual [to] sacrifice personal interests for the sake of the family. \uf0bc This means avoiding fleeting infatuations, casual sexual encounters, and a dating context [where] family concerns are forgotten (p. 280).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
