I am not in today due to illness. Here is an essay question on the evolutionary approach to relationships we looked at last week:
a) Outline and evaluate research into human reproductive behaviour. (5 + 6 marks)
b) How successfully do evolutionary theories explain the observed differences in male and female behaviour? (4 + 10 marks).
For next Thursday 8th December.
The next section we will move on to deals with a different set of questions: why do relationships form between some pairs of people but not between others? What factors lead to two people moving beyond casual 'dating' to become an established couple? Why do some relationships break up while others are maintained?
This is how your textbook's chapter on Relationships starts - you don't need to know the first bit on studies of attraction. You do need to know two theories of the formation of relationships - use the Filter Model and Reward / Need theory. Here's a presentation on them - hopefully I'll see you tomorrow to go over this, but make some basic notes on the two theories today.
