Abstract
Based on data from 260 adults, the present study investigated the structure of stereotypically defined love, and the concurrent validity of a measure of beliefs about this love. The results from several analyses suggest that stereotypic love is predominantly a "g"' factor phenomenon in which obsessive thought processes are distinctive. The concurrent validity analyses suggest that the factors underlying responses to items from the Love Relationships Scale are meaningfully related to measures of Lee's (1973/1976) typology of love styles.Keywords
