Love across Longitude
"Falling in love" is different across the
East-West divide. A new study examined how men
and women from the United States, Lithuania and
Russia defined romantic love. Both Lithuanian
and Russian participants felt that romantic love is
temporary and inconsequential.
This was not the case for those from the United
States, who rated romantic love as highly
important. United States participants also
frequently used words like "comfort"
, "love" and
"friendship" to describe romantic love, whereas
these words were seldom or never used by their Eastern counterparts. There were also
differences in how those from East and West fell in love. Americans reported that it took two
months to a year to fall in love, whereas the Lithuanian and Russian participants almost
universally reported falling in love within a month. Check out your own beliefs: are you more of the
East or West in your loving? Source: Cross-Cultural Research.
