Mapping love: How 27 different types of love manifest in the body
Quote:A research group at Aalto University in Finland conducted a study to explore how different types of love are experienced in various parts of the body. Surveying 558 native Finnish speakers, they identified 27 distinct types of love, which encompassed feelings for humans, non-human entities, and abstract ideas. The study revealed that while some types of love, like passionate love, were strongly felt throughout the body, others, such as love for wisdom, were felt less intensely and primarily in the head.
