In an integrative review, we examine four theories and models of romantic passion to determine what causes feelings of romantic passion. Although a growing consensus has emerged for the definition of romantic passion, we suggest that this is largely not the case for the source of romantic passion. We outline how four different perspectives—Limerence Theory, the Rate of Change in Intimacy Model, the Self-Expansion Model, and the Triangular Theory of Love—propose four different potential sources of romantic passion and review empirical support in favor and against each. For each of these perspectives, we additionally outline the predicted trajectory of passion that follows from each theorized source of passion, as well as each perspective's view on the ability for passion to be controlled and up-regulated. In identifying ways in which these theories and models offer conflicting predictions about the source of romantic passion, this review points to ways in which a more comprehensive model may be developed that integrates across these four perspectives.

是什么激发了激情？对浪漫激情竞争理论的综合评论

在综合评论中，我们研究了四种浪漫激情的理论和模型，以确定是什么导致了浪漫激情的感觉。尽管对于浪漫激情的定义已经出现了越来越多的共识，但我们认为浪漫激情的来源在很大程度上并非如此。我们概述了四种不同的观点——Limerence 理论、亲密关系模型的变化率、自我扩张模型和爱情三角理论——如何提出四种不同的浪漫激情的潜在来源，并审查支持和反对每一种的实证支持。对于这些观点中的每一个，我们还概述了从每个理论化的激情来源得出的预测的激情轨迹，以及每个视角对控制和上调激情的能力的看法。
