4Parental investment theory ([blank_start]Trivers[blank_end] 1972) offers an explanation as to why certain relationships are formed such as between [blank_start]younger[blank_end] women and [blank_start]older[blank_end] men. According to the theory, as female [blank_start]mammals[blank_end] invest more in their offspring (e.g. [blank_start]carrying[blank_end] the baby) they must be '[blank_start]choosier[blank_end]' in finding a partner, hence will seek out the male that can provide the most [blank_start]resources[blank_end].

5Dopamine is the neurotransmitter linked to human bonding and increasing trust and loyalty.
- ATrue
- BFalse
6Identify the neurotransmitters/hormones demonstrated in these images
- Adopamine
- Boxytocin
7Dopamine has been associated with [blank_start]pleasure seeking[blank_end] and [blank_start]reward[blank_end]-driven behaviour, so setting the [blank_start]goal[blank_end] of finding a partner, and being driven to achieve this, will give us a '[blank_start]hit[blank_end]' of dopamine. This can explain why as humans we are [blank_start]driven[blank_end] to form relationships - they give us a natural '[blank_start]high[blank_end]'. Oxytocin is a hormone associated with human [blank_start]bonding[blank_end] that is thought to increase trust and [blank_start]loyalty[blank_end]. [blank_start]High[blank_end] levels of oxytocin have been linked to [blank_start]romantic[blank_end] attachment; it is thought a lack of [blank_start]physical[blank_end] contact with ones partner will [blank_start]reduce[blank_end] levels of oxytocin, leading to feelings of [blank_start]longing[blank_end] to bond with ones partner again. We have a natural [blank_start]chemical[blank_end] drive to bond with others.
