Just in Time for V-Day: The Science of LOVE! - The Household CEO ...

There?s a science to sex, love and relationships, according to a new book published by a Colorado State University psychology professor and her colleagues.

Relationship books are dime a dozen, but very few are written from the perspective of researchers using science to answer pressing questions, says Jennifer Harman, an assistant professor of social psychology at Colorado State.

Harman was one of 15 university researchers nationwide who wrote chapters of ?The Science of Relationships: Answers to Your Questions about Dating, Marriage and Family,? which is available on Amazon.com.

?The Science of Relationships? (Kendall Hunt) is based on science unlike most relationship and self-help books, which are opinion-based and written by clinicians, Harman said. In this recently released book, scientists address 40 of the most common questions on such topics as attraction and relationship initiation, love, intimacy and attachment, long-term relationship processes, the dark side of relationships, sex and parenting.

The team ? and other researchers with master?s and doctoral degrees ? continues to answer questions at http://www.scienceofrelationships.com/. Some recent topics:
? Do men really think about sex every seven seconds?
? The birds and the bees as early as age 3?
? What are the high costs of parenthood?

?This is a fun book that is written in one collective voice but is grounded in research,? said Harman, who specializes in the study of how individuals think about and influence others. ?We all wanted to make psychology more accessible. Plus, it helps my students learn more about what I do as a psychologist.?

The book is written in a format that most people can understand ? simple, scientific answers to basic questions about family, marriage and relationships.

The authors feel that ?The key difference between our book and the other books on relationships out there is that all of our contributors are relationship scientists and teachers at colleges/universities who are true experts on relationships,? the authors say on scienceofrelationships.com. ?We take that expertise, add in a little research, and present things in an easy to read format.?

Cheers and enjoy!
