Pair bonding is a psychological construct that we attempt to operationalize via behavioral and physiological measurements. Yet, pair bonding has been both defined differently in various taxonomic groups as well as used loosely to describe not just a psychological and affective phenomenon, but also a social structure or mating system (either social monogamy or just pair living). In this review, we ask the questions: What has been the historical definition of a pair bond? Has this definition differed across taxonomic groups? What behavioral evidence do we see of pair bonding in these groups? Does this observed evidence alter the definition of pair bonding? Does the observed neurobiology underlying these behaviors affect this definition as well? And finally, what are the upcoming directions in which the study of pair bonding needs to head?
伴侣关系是一种心理概念,我们试图通过行为和生理测量来对其进行操作化定义。然而,伴侣关系在不同的分类群体中有着不同的定义,并且被宽泛地用于描述不仅是一种心理和情感现象,还包括一种社会结构或交配系统(社会一夫一妻制或仅仅是成对生活)。在这篇综述中,我们提出以下问题:伴侣关系的历史定义是什么?这个定义在不同的分类群体中是否有所不同?在这些群体中,我们看到了哪些关于伴侣关系的行为证据?这些观察到的证据是否改变了伴侣关系的定义?这些行为背后观察到的神经生物学是否也影响这个定义?最后,伴侣关系研究未来需要朝着哪些方向发展?
