  • Title: Intimacy, passion, and commitment in young romantic relationships: successfully measuring the triangular theory of love.
    Author: Lemieux R, Hale JL.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1999 Oct; 85(2):497-503. PubMed ID: 10611781.
    Abstract:
    The previous tests of the Triangular Theory of Love have proven problematic, specifically centered on measurement of the three components of Intimacy, Passion, and Commitment. Factor analysis of a new set of measures for 123 women and 110 men indicated support for three distinct factors. Sex differences indicated that women scored significantly higher on Intimacy and Commitment than men. Components were also significantly related to a measure of Relational Satisfaction. Regression analysis indicated that each component predicted significant variance for scores on Satisfaction.
