Abstract

The colours of love theory is of great importance for understanding love. However, previous research on this theory did not consider the model as circular, as originally proposed. This article investigates the spatial location of items and underlying love dimensions in the Love Attitudes Scale with a large Brazilian sample of 1,549 participants. The measure replicated the six-factor structure of previous studies (Eros,Ludus,Storge,Mania,AgapeandPragma), including the small correlations between factors and internal consistency. The circumplex structure, however, differed from the original theory. Multidimensional scaling showed an opposition between Ludus and Eros, as well as between Mania and Storge, suggesting a new spatial location to love styles. Based on the findings, we propose a revised reformulation of the colours of love theory using attachment theory as a framework to interpret the results.

我们是否错过了复杂性?爱情风格的检验

爱情的色彩理论对于理解爱情是非常重要的。然而，先前对该理论的研究并没有像最初提出的那样认为该模型是循环的。本文以巴西1549名参与者为样本，研究了爱情态度量表中物品的空间位置和潜在的爱情维度。该测量复制了先前研究的六因素结构(Eros,Ludus, storage,Mania,AgapeandPragma)，包括因素与内部一致性之间的小相关性。然而，这种环状结构与最初的理论不同。多维尺度显示了Ludus和Eros、Mania和Storge之间的对立，表明了爱的新空间位置。基于这些发现，我们提出了一种修正的重新表述爱的颜色理论，使用依恋理论作为解释结果的框架。
