An international team of scientists has applied precise mathematical models to analyze the dynamics of human emotions and attachment. The researchers found that the evolution of feelings between partners follows certain patterns that can be described by formulas, reports the website infohub.kz.
The specialists used mathematical modeling to study the factors that determine whether romantic relationships will last or lead to a breakup. In the course of the work, the research group analyzed changes in the interaction of couples at different stages of their life together.
The mathematical models allowed them to identify so-called critical points or tipping points. It is in these states that even small external irritants or minor changes in the behavior of one partner can significantly alter the emotional trajectory of the union.
The authors of the study note that such a quantitative approach helps to better understand the mechanisms of conflict and cooling of feelings. Taking into account mathematical patterns in the psychology of interpersonal relationships can help specialists develop more effective methods of family therapy and predict crisis periods in marriage.
