Scientific models
Is Biological Sciences has love models that describe him/it as an instinct of mammals, just as hunger or thirst. In the psychology he/she sees himself the love as more than a phenomenon: social and cultural.
There are probably truth elements in both positions – the love is certainly influenced by hormone s (such as oxitocina), neurotransmissores (as NGF), and Feromônio s, as well as the form of thinking of the people that he/she does with that these they behave regarding the way love influenced by their conceptions of what the love is.
The conventional vision of the biology is that two great slopes exist in the love – sexual attraction and garnishment.
This would do with that this behavior among adults of a certain species if they pawned in their descendants’ creation in the same way with the one which to work with the same beginnings that take a child to become linked his/her mother. The traditional point of view of the psychology sees the love as being a combination of loving commitment and impassioned love.
Impassioned love is intense, it is desire, and it is a lot of times accompanied by physiologic (lack of air, fast of the heart rhythm) exitação. Loving commitment is affection and an intimacy sensation no accompanied of physiologic excitement.

* Connection or friendship (intimacy)
* Infatuation or limerence (passion)
* Loving pledge (pledge)
* Romantic love (intimacy + passion)
* Loving commitment (intimacy + pledge)
* Love Fático (passion + pledge)
* Love Comsumado (intimacy + passion + pledge)
Styles of Love
Susan Hendrick and Clyde Hendrick developed a Scale of Loving Attitudes based in Alan John Lee theory, theory called love Styles. Lee identified six basic types in his/her theory. In these types the people use in their relationships interpessoais:
* Eros (love) – a based passionate love and based on the physical appearance
* Psiquê – a “spiritual” love, based on the mind and in the eternal feelings
* Ludus – the love that is played as a game; playful love
* Storge – an affectionate love that he/she grows slowly, with base in similarity
* Pragma – pragmatic love, love that just visualizes the moment and the temporary need, of the now.
* Habit – love highly emotional; unstable; the stereotype of romantic love
* Agape – altruistic love; spiritual
Hendrick and Hendrick found in his/her research the following data. The men tend to be more lúdicos and maniacs, while the women tend to be estéricas and pragmatic. Relationships based on love of similar styles tend to last more time.
In 2007, researchers of the University of Pavia led by the Dr. Enzo Emanuele supplied proofs of the existence of a genetic base for individual variations in having verified in the Theory of Lee’s loving Styles. OEros links with the dopamina in the nervous system; and Habit to the serotonina in the nervous system.
Love, passion, and madness
Studies have been demonstrating that the escaneamento of the passionate individuals’ brains exhibits a similarity with the people bearers of a mental disease.
The love creates an activity in the same area of the brain that the hunger, the thirst, and heavy drugs, creating activity Polimerase. New loves, therefore, they could be more emotional than physical.
Along the time, that reaction to the love changes, and different areas of the brain are activated, mainly in those loves that involve commitments of long period. Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neurocientista, suggests that this reaction of modification of the love is so similar to the of the addiction the drugs, because without love, the humanity would die.
