Porter and Trinity are in 3rd grade together and sit next to each other every day at lunch.
Taylor and Aaron have been dating for 6 months and everything is going well, but they are not yet exclusive.
Jon met Shaquallah at a party and was instantly attracted to her.
Luciana and Jonte have lived together for 10 years and are best friends.
Marty and Suzy have been married for 50 years, but rarely talk and live on opposite sides of the house.
Dominic and Tara fell in love at first sight and got married two weeks later.

Do these types of love mean anything? Is love necessary or helpful for reproduction in humans?

One study tested this hypothesis using Sternberg’s Triangular Love scale as their operational definition of love. The three components of passion, commitment, and intimacy were measured in a traditional hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania, and researchers gathered data about which type of relationship was most correlated with successful reproduction.

Try to predict the results of the study.

Which component of Sternberg’s Triangular Love Theory do you think would lead to better reproductive success?
