Odor and Attraction
- Odor plays a significant role in perceived attractiveness, particularly during a woman's pre-ovulatory phase.
- Oral contraception can mask this effect, altering men's and women's perceptions of attractiveness.
Childhood Attachment Styles
- Childhood attachment styles, revealed through the "strange situation" task, significantly influence adult romantic attachments.
- These styles categorize how children react to caregivers leaving and returning, predicting later relationship patterns.
Four Attachment Styles
- The four attachment styles are secure, anxious-avoidant, anxious-ambivalent/resistant, and disorganized/disoriented.
- Each style reflects distinct behavioral and emotional responses to caregiver separation and return.
