Lovestyles revisited

Lee’s (1975) Lovestyles Questionnaire was completed in terms of a past or present romantic relationship by 105 female and 44 male undergraduates to determine its factorial validity. The first 4 orthogonal factors extracted did not reflect Lee’s lovestyles but seemed to respectively characterize the satisfaction, openness, importance, and physical intimacy of the relationship. There was some suggestion, however, that these 4 dimensions may be used to distinguish these lovestyles.
