Love in Everyday Life: A Cultural Consensus Theory Approach to Understanding What Makes People Feel Loved
This symposium presents research that applies Cultural Consensus Theory to examine the agreement on beliefs on love across diverse populations. Through three talks—focusing on U.S. older adults, U.S. immigrants, and a Spanish sample—we explore culture-specific and universal patterns in love beliefs, and individual differences in people’s knowledge about love.
