How Much Do You Know About Love Quiz - Quiz

When most people think about love, they tend to picture a beautiful couple holding hands walking at sunset along a beach. This results in next to no one realizing that there are biological factors that actually cause us to fall in love. We tend to overtly romanticize love and omit the scientific factors that are involved.

How does love [literally] make you crazy?
- A.
  
  Jealousy
- B.
  
  Increased levels of serotonin
- C.
  
  Obsessive compulsive disorder
- D.
  
  I do not know
Correct Answer
B. Increased levels of serotonin

Explanation
Increased levels of serotonin can be an explanation for how love literally makes you crazy. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating mood, emotions, and behavior. When you are in love, your brain releases higher levels of serotonin, which can lead to feelings of euphoria, obsession, and even irrational behavior. This increase in serotonin can contribute to the intense emotional and psychological experiences often associated with being in love, which can sometimes be perceived as "crazy" or irrational.

- C.
  
  I do not know
- D.
  
  So that the relationship is not sexualized
Correct Answer
A. It is required for the attachment stage

Explanation
Love must be blind because it is required for the attachment stage. During this stage, individuals tend to idealize their partners and overlook their flaws, creating a strong emotional bond. If love was not blind, people would be more critical and judgmental, which could hinder the development of a deep connection. By being blind to certain imperfections, individuals are more likely to form a lasting and meaningful attachment with their partners.

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
A. The Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)

Explanation
During the first year of being in love, the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) works better. NGF is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells. It is believed to be involved in the intense emotions and attachment that are experienced during the early stages of romantic love. NGF levels have been found to be higher in individuals who are newly in love, suggesting that it may contribute to the euphoria and emotional bonding that occur during this time.

Just like in romantic relationships, the love for a parent or child can be intense, selfless, and can bring immense joy and fulfillment. Both types of love also involve a sense of commitment, sacrifice, and the desire to protect and support the loved one. Therefore, love for a parent or child shares many similarities with romantic love in terms of the emotions and dynamics involved.

- A.

If these bonding hormones are removed or reduced, the attachment between individuals may weaken or disappear altogether. Therefore, removing key bonding hormones would cause the attachment to disappear.

What are we most attracted to?
- A.
  
  Physical characteristics
- B.
  
  Scents/pheromones
- C.
  
  Those that look and/or smell most like our parents
- D.
  
  Differs per person
Correct Answer
C. Those that look and/or smell most like our parents

Explanation
We are most attracted to those who look and/or smell most like our parents because humans have a natural tendency to seek familiarity and comfort. Our parents serve as our first models of what is attractive and desirable, so we are often drawn to individuals who possess similar physical characteristics or scents as our parents. This attraction is believed to be an evolutionary mechanism that increases the likelihood of finding a compatible mate and passing on our genes successfully. However, it is important to note that this attraction may vary from person to person based on individual experiences and preferences.

  Someone with a similar sex drive
- D.
  
  Someone that reminds us of our closest friend
Correct Answer
A. Someone that looks physically similar to ourselves

Explanation
We are attracted to someone who looks physically similar to ourselves because it is believed that we are subconsciously drawn to people who resemble us in terms of facial features, body type, and other physical characteristics. This is known as the "similarity-attraction effect." It is thought that this preference may be rooted in the desire to find a mate who shares similar genes and therefore increases the chances of reproductive success. Additionally, physical similarity can create a sense of familiarity and comfort, leading to a stronger emotional connection in a relationship.
