B. Love Scale Test
Description of Measure: A 42-item questionnaire designed to measure attitudes toward love. The questionnaire combines attitudes

each) that each represent a different love style:
EROS (passionate love) STORGE (friendship love) MANIA (possessive, dependent love)
AGAPE (altruistic love).
LUDUS (game-playing love) PRAGMA (practical love)
Participants respond to each item using a 5-point scale, ranging from 1 (strongly agree), 2 (moderately agree), 3 (neutral), 4
(moderately disagree), 5 (strongly disagree). **Participants are instructed to answer questions with their current partner in mind.
However, the instructions state that if the respondent does not currently have a partner, he or she should answer with their most recent
partner in mind. If, however, the respondents have never been in love, the instructions state that they should provide whatever answer
they believe would be true.
