“…We also examined a number of usual correlates of the Love Attitude Scale, with findings essentially similar to those reported in literature (e.g., Leon, Parra, Cheng, & Flores, 1995, Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986, 1989. Concerning socio-demographic background, Love Attitude Scale seem to be relatively independent.…”

The research reports on results of an initial application of the Love Attitude Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) in Serbia. The study was conducted on the sample of 127 respondents, mainly of adolescent age, from Subotica, Serbia. We explored the factor structure of the Love Attitude Scale, analyzed relationships between its subscales, and examined relevant correlates of its dimensions. We also performed extensive item analysis of the scale, and proposed several new items for the use in the revised Love Attitude Scale for Serbia. Correlates of the revised subscales correspond to those obtained with the original scale and in other countries. The results confirm cross-cultural stability of the six-dimensional structure of the Love Attitude Scale. It was concluded that the Serbian adaptation was successful, and that the translated and slightly revised scale can be used as a valid instrument for the assessment of the six love styles.

“…One would imagine that if the game-playing style is adopted in a relationship, the psychological distress following dissolution might not be as great as that where the possessive style has been adopted. Some research has been done looking at different love styles (Lee, 1973(Lee, , 1988 and at the different factors associated with them including religion (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1987), ethnicity (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986;Huang, 1999;Murstein, Merighi, & Vyse, 1991) and gender difference (Hall, Hendrick, & Hendrick, 1991;Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986;Hong, 1986;Leon, Parra, Cheng, & Flores, 1995;Rotenberg & Korol, 1995).…”

The present study aimed to ascertain the extent to which people, following the dissolution of a dating relationship, experienced post traumatic stress symptoms. It also aimed to investigate the relationship between post traumatic stress and self-esteem and personality. The hypotheses were that there would be a severe degree of post traumatic stress symptoms experienced by the present samples, and that the personality factor, in particular, neuroticism, and low self-esteem would be associated with the samples' post traumatic stress symptoms. Sixty heterosexual subjects who had experienced a romantic relationship dissolution over the past 24 months were recruited for the study. They were interviewed with The results showed that 72 per cent of the subjects scored at or above the high IES symptom cut-off. Forty-three per cent scored above the cut-off of the GHQ-28. Significant correlations were found between the impact of the dissolution and general health. The present subjects were significantly less extroverted and neurotic than the standardized samples. Stepwise regression analyses showed that negative self-esteem significantly predicted avoidance and the total general health, and that neuroticism significantly predicted the total impact of the dissolution.

“…Indeed some slight cultural differences on how love is experienced have continued to be discovered among Hispanics (Leon, Parra, Cheng & Flores, 1995;Parra, Brown, Huynh, Stubbs, & Amerson, 1998;Parra, Brown, Phung, Thao, Stubbs, Leon, & Mejia, 2001), Chinese (Cho & Cross, 1995), Portuguese (Neto, 1995), Serbians (Todosijević, 2009) and Malays (Hoesni, 2001, 2003.…”

The aim of this study is to explore the prototype for expressions of marital love among urban Malays. This study applies the process for developing prototypes of love which was adapted by Fehr (1988). Questionnaire consisting of questions relating to personal background, relationship background and list of expressions of marital love were presented to 600 working married urban Malays. Data were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and found that the list for prototype expressions of marital love were fit using the three component definition as suggested by Sternberg (1986), specifically, intimacy to intimate-sharing expressions, commitment to commitment-faith expressions and passion to romantic-physical expressions. Results showed that expressions for marital love which involve intimate-sharing expressions (e.g. listening to spouse's emotional outpourings, encouraging spouse, solving problems with spouse) were most desirable compared to romantic-physical expressions which were less desirable (e.g. holding spouse's waist, giving spouse a massage, caressing spouse). Findings suggest future studies on love within marriage should consider cultural aspects and application of implicit theory as suggested by Fehr (1988).
