Abstract

Empirical work about love has primarily considered the love of one individual for another. This work uses a novel method to study estimated types of love for self and others based on passionate and companionate theory, and triangular love theory. Two hundred and fifty participants (161 females and 89 males) rated self-estimates and other’s estimates (romantic partners and parents) of global love and several love types. Women self-estimated passionate love, companionate love, intimacy, and commitment more than men did. Gender differences in estimated love types for romantic partners, fathers, and mothers were not evidenced. As regards self-partner differences respondents rated their romantic partners similarly to themselves. Regarding generational differences, children assessed themselves greater in all love types than their parents, except in commitment. Passionate love and commitment significantly predicted global love for self, partners, and parents. Suggestions and limitations are offered.

自我爱与他人爱的性别差异

关于爱的实证研究主要考虑的是一个人对另一个人的爱。本研究采用了一种新颖的方法，基于激情和伴侣理论以及三角爱情理论来研究对自己和他人的爱的估计类型。250名参与者(161名女性和89名男性)对自己和他人(恋人和父母)对全球爱情和几种爱情类型的估计进行了评估。女性比男性更看重激情之爱、伴侣之爱、亲密关系和承诺。对恋人、父亲和母亲的估计爱情类型的性别差异并没有得到证实。至于自我伴侣的差异，受访者对恋人的评价与自己相似。关于代际差异，孩子们在所有类型的爱情中对自己的评价都高于父母，除了承诺。热烈的爱和承诺显著地预测了对自己、伴侣和父母的整体爱。提出了建议和限制。
