Drawing on recent claims in the study of relationships, attachment, and emotion, the authors hypothesized that romantic love serves a commitment-related function and sexual desire a reproduction-related function. Consistent with these claims, in Study 1, brief experiences of romantic love and sexual desire observed in a 3-min interaction between romantic partners were related to distinct feeling states, distinct nonverbal displays, and commitment- and reproductive-related relationship outcomes, respectively. In Study 2, the nonverbal display of romantic love was related to the release of oxytocin. Discussion focuses on the place of romantic love and sexual desire in the literature on emotion.
基于关系、依恋和情感研究中的最新观点，作者们推测浪漫爱情具有与承诺相关的功能，而性欲具有与生殖相关的功能。与这些观点一致的是，在研究1中，浪漫伴侣之间3分钟互动中观察到的浪漫爱情和性欲的短暂体验分别与不同的情感状态、不同的非言语表现以及与承诺和生殖相关的关系结果相关。在研究2中，浪漫爱情的非言语表现与催产素的释放有关。讨论聚焦于浪漫爱情和性欲在情感文献中的地位。
