An international group of scientists, in an attempt to discover the origin of the highest feeling in the world, have discovered the role that love plays in relationships.
More than 86 thousand volunteers and 90 countries of the world were involved in the research.
The results of the work were published in the scientific journal Human Nature.
Research by scientists
Participants in the experiment had to answer just one question: what significance does romantic love have in their lives and long-term relationships.
It turned out that this wonderful feeling is appreciated all over the world and without love it is truly impossible to build a long-term relationship.
At the same time, it was possible to find out which people love the most.
Who values love more?
1. Low-income people placed greater importance on romantic love than the wealthy class.
Scientists have suggested that in the absence of finances, love and devotion protect relationships from shocks.
2. It also turned out that romance is more important for women than for men.
As stated in the report, the difference in attitudes towards love between the sexes was more pronounced than in other aspects of the research work.
3. It also turned out that the more children there were in the family, the more importance the partners attached to romantic love.
At this stage, scientists came to the conclusion that love can grow stronger as family relationships develop.
But the most interesting observation was made when assessing the well-being of residents of different countries.
It turned out that in developed countries this feeling was valued more.
