“…In addition to these major findings, this study also produced some other interesting results. Consistent with the literature on romantic attitudes (Neto, ; Rotenberg & Korol, ; Sprecher & Toro‐Morn, ; Worobey, 2001a, 2001b) as well as many of the findings of Yeh and colleagues () regarding filial piety, female young adults endorsed the Agape love attitude more weakly but RFP more strongly than did males. These findings are in accordance with the gender roles described in the literature.…”

“…There has been much empirical research on attitudes about romantic relationships. Some studies investigated whether attitudes about love vary depending on age, gender, or romantic behaviors (Dion & Dion, ; Shulman & Scharf, ; Worobey, ). Other studies focused on love attitudes' associations with temperament and personality (Arnold & Thompson, ; Fehr & Broughton, ; Worobey, ).…”

This study examined the relations between filial piety, attitudes about romantic relationships (love attitudes), and satisfaction in romantic relationships in the Chinese cultural context. The following research questions were investigated: How are adult children's filial piety beliefs connected to their love attitudes, and how do these contribute to their satisfaction in romantic relationships? A total of 412 college students in Taiwan who were currently involved or had been involved in romantic relationships participated in the study. Structural equation modeling showed that filial piety contributes to satisfaction in romantic relationships through the mediating effects of love attitudes. The findings advance our understanding of filial piety and its implications for young adults' romantic relationships.

“…A number of studies reported that women favored the style of Agape more than men (e.g., Davies, 2001;Schultz et al, 2001). In contrast, other research indicated men scored higher on Agape (e.g., Fallon & Bowles, 1999;Grote & Frieze, 1998;Heaven, Da Silva, Carey, & Holen, 2004;Kunkel & Burleson, 2003;Sprecher & Toro-Morn, 2002;Worobey, 2001). The inconsistencies in these results may be due to the fact that most love-style studies were conducted to contrast and compare different love styles and did not focus on one style of love.…”

This study examined Agape love in couple relationships among randomly-sampled, telephone-surveyed adults currently involved in a romantic relationship. Agape refers to other-centered, altruistic love and is one of the six styles of love from John Lee's (1973) theory of love styles. The results showed that age, religiosity, and relationship satisfaction were positively correlated with Agape. People with more education reported lower Agape love scores than did less educated people. Men reported a higher level of Agape love than did women when controlling for age, education, religiosity and relationship satisfaction.

“…It could be more justified to conceive love styles in more trait-like fashion, which are in turn based on some more general personality traits (cf. Worobey, 2001;White et al, 2004). For example, according to Zuckerman, Tushup and Firmer (1976), high sensation seekers are freer in their sexual behavior, so it would not be surprising if they would be found to be inclined toward the Ludic love style.…”

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.
