The 36 questions that lead to love are a series of questions designed by scientist Arthur Aron to help people connect on a deeper level. These questions are intended to reveal personal information, feelings, and values, ultimately leading to the formation of a strong bond between两个人.
Arthur Aron, a psychology professor at the University of California at Berkeley, wondered if it was possible to create instant intimacy between strangers in a laboratory setting. Through a series of carefully crafted questions, he found a powerful force capable of producing the desired effect: not a love potion, but a well-crafted series of questions.
The 36 questions, divided into three sets called SET I, SET II, and SET III, were initially published in an academic journal over 20 years ago. They have been re-published in various other publications, including The New York Times and Psychology Today.
The questions are meant to be asked in a specific order, with each partner taking turns asking and answering the questions. The aim is to gradually build a connection by sharing personal information and deep feelings. By asking questions that encourage the other person to reveal more about themselves, you create an opportunity to respond and build a stronger bond.
