+Leslie Fierling It's nothing new she is just working on a precise connection between neurotransmitters and love. If you are interested, the field she studies in would be neuroscience, or the psychology heavy side would be neuropsychology. If you'd like to delve into it, I'd recommend the book "The Brain That Changes Itself". I love her work too! :)
This sounds very interesting. But the experiment in Japan is a bit biased. If she told the Japanese participants what their dominant type means, wouldn't that be very suggestive? Just like if you tell someone his grip is weak, it will become weaker.
I was told to watch this ted talk in psych but i couldnt copy the link bc it was a zoom meeting and she switched off so i typed "FW6andSUBYO" and it came up lmao
Good info, but we still don't know exactly what triggers love. It's probably best to be answered by the theory of consciousness, which explains what a soul mate is.
I'm not sure about what this woman has contributed to us... her scientific findings are like "love is an addiction", stuff we already know. and otherwise ripped of personality systems predicting compability while at the same time saying every type is compatible with every type.
Her neuroscience is pretty cutting edge; I’ve never heard of any personality psychologist that identified the D/NE, S, T, and E/OT personality systems. She’s actually contributed a lot built off of this too. Research is a slow process, it’s not like tech where some insane new technology can arise out of nowhere (at least not usually), but she’s definitely making an impact
Actually, having differing behavior is a very good survival trait. If the risk-taker type dies a lot in one circumstance the risk-averse type will survive (but they both have the same genes, pretty much, its just that they have different alleles).
I love your work Helen. Thank you for marrying biology with psychology.

Helen Fisher one of my heroes
finally something more original from ted. Really entertaining and made sense
I had the same thought, these 4 personality types remind me of Keirsey's temperament sorter:
Seratonin = Guardian = Sensor Judger
Dopamine = Artisan = Sensor Perceiver
Testosterone = Rationalist = iNuitive Thinker
Estrogen/Oxytocin = Idealist = iNtuitive Feeler

very enlightening

DRD4. ...ADHD gene... (17:37)
Mirror neurons ...aspergers syndrome... (theory of mind/ empathy:) estrogen/oxytocin...(18:22)

Brilliant!!
do we need to know why we fall in love for a person rather than for another????
I pretty much don't fit in any of these categories.... Now what?
thats a trait of green or blue. too modest to decide
I'm in Love😶
How can u combine all off them?
What about twins? Like me. Same biology, completely different women and love stories.
different nurture -> different subtypes
i love her :)
Did Japanese women have any participation in decorating these cakes ❓

Epigenetics. I'm not a biologist though so...grain of salt.
I can't help but think this is a load of woo.
Where's the evidence that these personality 'constellations' are related to specific neurotransmitters?
what bullshit people dont fit in pigeon holes
fantastic non sense
