This Triangular Theory of Love was presented by an American Psychologist and Psychometrician named Robert
Sternberg. This Triangular Theory of Love has 3 components consist of Intimacy, passion and commitment where
different kinds of love such as Liking, Companionate, Romantic, Infatuation, Empty and Fatuous love are created out
of these three components. Further, this theory explains that even just the absence of one component can
automatically change or alter the type of love.
