The article reviews data on the cross-cultural approaches to love. First, the romantic model of love is discussed in different perspectives. The researchers agreed that the romantic model of love is pan-cultural or universal, typical not only to western societies. Then, cross-cultural studies on different models of love are described. The cross-cultural differentiation of love is explained with its influencing factors such as dimension individualism-collectivism, emotional investment, attitudes toward marriage, linguistic specificity of expression, and gender. The article highlights romantic love as an omnipresent emotion, which means that it is present in every culture. However, its diversity is due not only from its cultural milieu. Love is dependent on many factors that moderate its quality and characteristics. The collected data documented strong similarities in love among various cultures, which suggests a certain degree of psychological unity or/and species-typicality in humans, and in turn, some similarities in the neurobiological mechanisms of love(original abstract)
