Social Construction And Regulation Of Love In Long-term Relationships This needs to be APA formatted and plagiarism free. No specific word count, I will accept the work, as long as the questions are fully answered.

Pick a basic emotion (LOVE) and describe its social construction AND social regulation in a specific

sociocultural context, AND, beyond that context, describe the emotion’s physiology and its most

likely role in the human reproductive strategy (60% of wording)

Identify and critically integrate the different understandings of the emotion provided by the

different research approaches you have drawn from (40%)

You should break the task down as followed:

• Brief definition of the emotion in terms of action tendencies triggered in your chosen

sociocultural context (long-term relationships)

• Social construction of the emotion: How is the emotion talked about, what terms are used to

refer to it (by whom? Why?)? What are the behavioural expectations on people feeling this

emotion? Are there clear social roles for people claiming to feel this emotion?

• Social regulation: Verbally and nonverbally: how (much) are you allowed / expected to feel it

and how (much) are you allowed/ expected to express it? How does that expression affect

others (in that social context)?

• What physiological changes / brain structures / neurotransmitters are associated with this

emotion?

• What threat to (opportunity for) survival and/or reproduction does the emotion compel you to

deal with? What are the (evolutionarily) stable and reliable cues that trigger it (aka

unconditioned stimuli)? Or have the cues been classically conditioned?

(for the critical analysis and integration)

• What approaches to research have you drawn from? Are they consistent with each other, or are

there contradictions? Is it possible for you to provide a coherent picture of the emotion

drawing from all of them?
