A Behavioral Model of Love

Behavioral models are abstractions of reality and are used to help understand, explain, and predict behavior. Behavioral models are usually written as math equations. They exist in almost every discipline including Physics, Chemistry, and Economics. In Psychology, these models are used to understand and predict human behavior. The field of Psychology is divided into four major disciplines: 1. Personality (e.g. introvert versus extroverts), 2. Developmental (e.g. how kids grow up), 3. Cognitive (e.g. brain processes), and 4. Social (e.g. how external forces affect behavior).

Discipline	Behavioral Model	Founder

Politics	Communism	Karl Marx
Physics	Theory of Relativity	Albert Einstein
Chemistry	Acid-Base Theory	Svante Arrhenius
Astronomy	Copernican System	Galileo Galilei
Economics	Capitalism	Adam Smith
Personality Psychology	Freudian Psychoanalysis	Sigmund Freud
Developmental Psychology	Mental Growth Stages	Jean Paiget
Social Psychology	Conformity	Solomon Asch
Cognitive Psychology	Language Learning	Noam Chomsky

Love economics could be a disciplinary branch of microeconomics, the study of individual consumers or households and how they make decisions. However, it fits better under the discipline of Social Psychology, which explores how individuals are affected by their social environment. Social environment could be just another person, a small group, a community, or a society. Social Psychology is the study of how people feel, influence, and relate to one another. Love economics is an extension of the Social Exchange Theory, which explains social interactions in economic terms, benefits and costs. At the center of love economics is the Love Economic Model, or the Model. I have created a mathematical model that could predict and explain all human behavior pertaining to love. Predictions, insights, and tactics are provided to give you a deeper understanding of the dynamics of love.
