Description:
Why do some relationships begin at first sight, while others end after just a few messages? What psychological mechanisms influence partner choice, the development of attraction, and romantic decision-making? During the session “The Psychology of Dating”, researchers and practitioners will present the latest scientific insights into romantic relationships, attraction, communication, and the contemporary challenges of finding a partner.
The programme will include expert lectures representing diverse research perspectives, as well as a panel discussion during which participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and compare scientific findings with everyday experiences.
