This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Shui Guo Jie wakes up in Las Vegas with a ring on her finger, and realizes that she has just married Travis, a man she has known for a couple weeks. Shui Guo Jie and Travis are very physically attracted to each other, but she realizes she knows very little about him. Sternberg would call this _________
A) fatuous love.
B) consummate love.
C) infatuation.
D) companionate love.
Answer:
Sternberg would call this A) fatuous love.
Explanation:
Sternberg developed a theory called the triangular theory of love. According to it, love can be understood via the analysis of three components - commitment, passion, and intimacy. Those would be the vertices of the triangle. Fatuous love is the kind in which you find two out of the three components: commitment and passion. There is no emotional intimacy in fatuous love, even though there is the sexual factor. Shui Guo Jie is physically attracted to Travis and is clearly committed to him, but she knows very little about him, which means there is no closeness, no connectedness between them. Therefore, Sternberg would call this fatuous love.
