popular science book on romantic relationships

[Jule Specht]

Hi all,

I�m currently writing a popular science book on romantic relationships
(in the broader sense) for the Rowohlt Verlag and, in addition to my
thoughts and ideas, would appreciate your expertise in this area:

1. Have you conducted a study or have you written a paper that might be
of interest to laypersons interested in scientific findings on romantic
relationships?

2. Are there papers you found to be particularly exciting, intriguing
and/or entertaining in the context of close relationships?

3. Do you have any suggestions of topics that might be of special
interest to laypersons, for example because they are largely neglected
to date, are in an interesting way controversial or because scientific
knowledge considerably differs from common beliefs?

I�d be happy about your input!

Cheers,
Jule.

Hallo Jule,

herzlichen Glueckwunsch zum Buchvertrag! Bin mal auf das Ergebnis gespannt!

Als Antwort auf Deine Fragen koennte ich glaube ich selbst 360k
Zeichen in diese Email schreiben, aber ich gebe Dir einfach mal ein
paar Referenzen. ;-)

Zum einen habe ich Dir die Folien von zweien meiner Vorlesungen zur
Evolutionspsychologie angehaengt, mit Referenzen zu verschiedenen
Studien, die ich wichtig oder interessant finde. Nicht ignorieren
sollte man meiner Meinung nach die ganze Literatur zu
Menstruationszykluseffekten, die ist inzwischen massiv und liefert
allerlei erstaunliches aber anscheinend auch replizierbares.

Ich selbst hab viele meiner Ideen in 3 Buchkapiteln zusammengefasst,
von denen ich das erste, auch wenn etwas 'dated', immer noch am
meisten mag (das letzte hat formatbedingt keine Referenzen, kann ich
Dir bei Bedarf aber geben):

Von meinen eigenen empirischen Arbeiten sind natuerlich auch so einige
relevant. Interessant sind vielleicht unsere Sachen dazu, wie gut
Menschen romantisches Interesse wahrnehmen koennen:
