Viewing love through Hollywood's lens

Love. Is it destiny, something that conquers all, or something that requires work and compromise? Chances are your answer depends on what kinds of TV shows and movies you like to watch according to a new study. A group of University of Michigan researchers recently published a paper that examines the connection between romantic media and real-life perceptions of love and romance. Julia Lippman is the study's lead author and a postdoctoral research fellow from the University of Michigan’s Department of Psychology. She joins us to discuss the findings.
