Evolutionary concepts suggest the existence of special patterns of behaviors which are an effective way to achieve bonds (Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1987). The results of psychological research, using scenarios involving behavior consistent with social norms, confirm these suggestions. Such behavioral patterns indeed fulfill their bonding function, both in the initial phase of forming a close relationship (Kuczynska, 1991, 1993.1999), as well as in maintaining it (Kuczynska, 1998). They have a positive influence on the affective, cognitive and behavioral reactions of individuals to whom they are presented (Kuczynska, 1998). The purpose of this research was twofold: to test whether these behaviors would also be so effective when they are inconsistent with social norms, and to determine what part social norms play in the affective, cognitive and behavioral reactions of people towards whom such behaviors are presented. One hundred sixty people took part in the study. A pair of specially trained researchers presented four types of behaviors: neutral and bonding behaviors consistent with social norms, and friendly and sexual behaviors inconsistent with social standards. The results prove that the subjects' reactions depend on the degree of conformity between the behaviors and social norms and on the strength of their bonding.

The purpose of the paper is twofold: It attempts to answer the question whether young adults in describing their particular attachment style use attributes proposed by modern concepts of love, and it attempts to describe the structure these attributes in those self-descriptions. Three hundred and ninety-three people participated in the study. Research confirmed the hypothesis that the structure of attributes included in the self-descriptions corresponds to modern evolutionary and psycho-social concepts of what shapes intimate relationships. Factors singled out of the descriptions correspond to short- and long-term strategies, described by Buss (1995, 1996), that are used by women and men, to tell them that their partner is a good object of attachment, as well as being socially desirable. A general hypothesis that people differing by attachment style will differ in their self-descriptions has also been confirmed. The results are interpreted from the point of view of evolutionary and psycho-social paradigms.
