Abstract

Chapman’s (2015) Five Love Languages remain prevalent within popular press publications coaching individuals toward more satisfying relationships. However, the absence of empirical evidence validating the love language concept remains concerning. Using a qualitative analysis of 648 open-ended responses from 324 college-aged participants, the following study investigates the current assumptions regarding the love language concept by inductively testing the accuracy of the existing love languages typology. The results demonstrate substantial support for Chapman’s (2015) Five Love Languages, as well as evidence for a novel, sixth love language.

重新审视爱的语言:查普曼(2015)五种爱的语言类型学的有效性假设的实证检验

查普曼(2015)的《五种爱的语言》在流行的新闻出版物中仍然很流行，指导人们建立更令人满意的关系。然而，缺乏经验证据来验证爱语言的概念仍然令人担忧。本研究对324名大学生的648份开放式问卷进行了定性分析，通过归纳检验现有爱情语言类型学的准确性，对目前关于爱情语言概念的假设进行了调查。研究结果为查普曼(2015)的《五种爱的语言》提供了有力的支持，也为小说《第六种爱的语言》提供了证据。

The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
