suggested reading
Hello, The book chapter is looking good so far, its good to see that your fiddling with different formatting and other little tricks on Wikiversity :) I came this article which might be an interesting read and could be a relevant subject to compare, particularly around how ideas of sexual activity may differ across cultures. Here is the link to the article: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224499.2012.740521#.VDoRTPnoSVM Good luck with everything :) U3084402 (discuss • contribs) 05:48, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

response to you post
Hey!

Thanks for adding the syntax of the quiz on my page, that was really nice of you! And sorry, someone beat me to my preferred topic as well haha. I will definitely keep those types in mind, although my research told me the main ones were those 3 so I will probably leave them out unless I have room for more (already 2000 words inb :S ). I can probably incorporate them as a side note somewhere though, so thank you for your suggestion.

as for your topic, Im not sure if this could be useful to you in any way, but since we need to have about 6 peer reviewed articles I thought it may help you out with that. http://spr.sagepub.com/content/27/4/473.short

I used it a while ago for a project at my other uni. If I stumble across something that may be useful to you, I will let you know

Best of luck cheers --CazaF (discuss • contribs) 00:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Literature
Your page is looking good so far but you might need to add some more literature into it (i know its not quite finished yet). If you are having trouble finding some literature i have found google scholar really helpful with difficult topics. I have found some literature for you i hope they help: http://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&lr=&id=VTeKXvt_qAUC&oi=fnd&pg=PR1&dq=romantic+love+and+culture+psychology&ots=kxHjLtR4pR&sig=X5yFrZU8htMJxbLGRiftqp0xsyY#v=onepage&q=romantic%20love%20and%20culture%20psychology&f=false http://zh9bf5sp6t.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=MN&aulast=Shiota&atitle=I+love+you+but%E2%80%A6:+Cultural+differences+in+complexity+of+emotional+experience+during+interaction+with+a+romantic+partner&id=doi:10.1080/02699930902990480&title=Cognition+and+emotion&volume=24&issue=5&date=2010&spage=786&issn=0269-9931 http://zh9bf5sp6t.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=JR&aulast=Garcia&atitle=Sexual+hookup+culture:+A+review.&id=doi:10.1037/a0027911&title=Review+of+general+psychology&volume=16&issue=2&date=2012&spage=161&issn=1089-2680

Also try to be careful with the coloured boxes, the purple one at the bottom is a little difficult to read. Good luck with your page. --Bh712 (discuss • contribs) 08:38, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks for the feedback, I changed the coloured box for the quiz and have simplified how many I have used, cheers :) I also very much appreciated the links and have used some of them to provide evidence and support information on the topics I have discussed, very helpful thanks!

Collectivist cultures
Hey! Im really excited to see what you write about collectivist cultures. Recently I came out of a relationship with someone who was Russian and we had a lot of cross-culture clashes. I think its important too look at the motivations behind marriage for these cultures, for example Russian culture has been found to be willing to marry without being in love. Heres an interesting article that looks at Russian, Japanese and American love styles. http://www.elainehatfield.com/86.pdf

Good luck! --U3084587 (discuss • contribs) 09:45, 21 October 2014 (UTC) u3084587

Hi, your chapter looks interesting! I also wonder what happens when east meets west? cross-cultural relationships, do their break up more than couples from the same culture? Also, in a globalised world nowadays, people travel and live in cultures different from their own, how do these people fare as kind of global citizen? Another thing, apart from individualistic and collectivist culture, how about say, indigenous people in Australia, tribes in africa?

also, be aware that culture bonds us as well as divide us. On what level do we talk about culture is appropriate, but not stereotyping? --Xlc (discuss • contribs) 07:35, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

- Hey thanks for the idea guys, I really wanted to incorporate a paragraph specifically focussing on cross-cultural relationships after seeing your suggestions, however due to word limit I only have about 100 words left and I don't think I will be able to sufficiently cover this with so little words. However, I am thinking about adding in a paragraph on this after submission as I think it is quite relevant. So stay tuned :P U3081383 (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Figures
Hi, thank you for your comments on my page- cultural differences in aggression, it was much appreciated! I really enjoyed reading your page and I loved that you made some learning objectives! Great idea! I made some small edits on your page to the images- just made sure that each had "Figure x" before the description of the image and that the numbering was in order. James advised me to use more detailed captions for images which explain how they relate directly back to the question you are trying to answer. This may be something for you to consider as well :) Good luck!--U3053066 (discuss • contribs) 11:54, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks heaps for doing that otherwise I probably wouldn't have even noticed! And thanks for the advice about the figure captions I'll definitely be adjusting them to relate more to the chapter topic :) U3081383 (discuss • contribs) 21:55, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Type of love
Hey Christine, i was just reading your chapter. i got to the part where passion was being described. I was wondering how passion is associated with sexual desire. Frank - u3077227 (discuss • contribs) 08:08, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Changes
I have made a few small changes to help your word limit. It covers everything and has a lot of evidence to support it! U3081461 (discuss • contribs) 01:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
