Abstract
Some of life’s most intense emotions are experienced within close relationships. Berscheid and Reis (1998) claimed that identifying the origins and the profile of emotions experienced within a relationship is essential if one wants to really understand its most important features. Given this reality, one might expect a great deal would be known about the experience and expression of emotions in close relationships and, in particular, how relationship experiences at critical stages of social development forecast the type and intensity of emotions that are experienced in adult attachment relationships. Surprisingly little, however, is known about these issues.
