The Science of Love with Arthur Aron

Full Story: In this short Q&A video, UC Berkeley Visitingn Scholoar, psychologist Arthur Aron, discusses the science of love, the research on human biological and psychological processes involved in love relationships. In the nearly 50 years that Arthur and his wife, psychologist Elaine Aron have studied love, they have developed three dozen questions to create closeness in a lab setting. The result is not unlike the accelerated intimacy that can happen between strangers on an airplane or other close quarters. Those 36 questions were recently popularized in a Modern Love column in the New York Times, and have broken down emotional barriers between thousands of strangers, resulting in friendships, romance and even some marriages.
