William Jankowiak and Edward Fischer (1992) examined 166 tribal cultures, and found that passionate love existed in at least 147 of them. What is thought to be the main reason that a lack of passionate love was found in the other 19 tribal cultures?

a. those tribes were more fearful of outsiders, than the other tribes
b. there was ethnographic oversight of the questions used in the surveys
c. there is a higher degree of matriarchal dominance than in the other tribes
d. there is a higher degree of patriarchal dominance than in the other tribes

Question 2

Divya is a 19-year old college student whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India when she was three years old. Divya is in a romantic relationship with a boy from her dormitory, Matt, and would like to introduce Matt to her parents,

but she is reluctant. What is a likely reason for Divya's reluctance?

a. Matt, who is white, is unlikely to understand the customs of Divya's family, thus she would rather not deal with the awkwardness of a family visit.
b. Divya's family is likely to view romantic love as a disruptive threat to the family structure, thus she does not want to deal with her parents' negative view of her relationship with Matt.
c. It is unlikely that Divya is close to her family, and thus she would rather keep her relationship with Matt separated from her family.
d. Divya is afraid that her parents will grow very attached to Matt, making a potential future break-up between the two more difficult.
