What is Love?
• Two views from relationship science: o “Investment in the well-being of the other for his
or her own sake” (IWB; Hegi & Bergner, 2010).
o Perceived Responsiveness, or “gets me”, i.e., feel understood, validated, and cared for (Reis, Clark & Holmes, 2004)
• What emotion science can add: o Biobehavioral components
o A momentary lens
o A broaden-and-build theoretical backdrop
![Page 22: Positive Emotions: Science & Practice...Positive Emotions: Science & Practice Barbara Fredrickson, PhD, UNC-CH Psychology Mary Brantley, MA, LMFT, Duke Integrative Medicine UNC School](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062610/611677288f86d6774727c227/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Love is…
• an interpersonally situated experience marked by momentary increases in:
o shared positive emotions;
o biobehavioral synchrony;
omutual care;
• which, over time, builds:
o embodied rapport (e.g., we really “clicked”);
o social bonds;
o commitment.

What’s a Smile For?
• To express positivity (Ekman, 1975);
• To evoke positivity (Bachorowski & Owren, 2003);
• To evoke inter-subjectivity (Niedenthal et al., 2010);
• To broaden collective mindsets and build
collective resources (Gervais & Sloan Wilson, 2005);
• ALL OF THE ABOVE: To create the life-
giving nutrient of positivity resonance (Fredrickson, 2013).

Love is …micro-moments of
positivity resonance
a.k.a., “day-to-day micro-utopias” -- Nicholas Bourriaud (1998)

“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone;
it has to be made, like bread;
remade all the time, made new.”
