Scale Introduction
Free online Love Attitude Scale (LAS) test. The Love Attitude Scale (LAS), also known as Love Style Test, was developed by American psychologists Hendrick and Hendrick based on John Lee's love typology theory. LAS proposes that love can be categorized into 6 types: Romantic, Game-playing, Companionate, Pragmatic, Possessive, and Altruistic.
This scale aims to understand your attitudes toward love. The "he/she" in the questions refers to your current intimate partner (please answer based on your current relationship; if you don't have a partner currently, please refer to your last relationship; if you've never been in a relationship, please imagine and answer accordingly). For each statement, select the number that best reflects your actual situation.
American psychologists Schachter and Singer proposed the Two-Factor Theory of Love, suggesting love is primarily determined by physiological arousal and cognitive factors. Individuals perceive emotional objects through senses and experience self-arousal. Evolutionary psychology suggests that early human sexual bonding was essentially for reproductive needs, requiring different strategies for males and females to achieve reproductive success, which formed different mating behaviors and preferences between genders.
| Factor | Score Range | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Romantic | 7~35 | Focuses most on appearance and physical contact; easily falls in love with attractive partners | |
| Game-playing | 7~35 | Views love as a game with short-term relationships, frequently changes partners, rarely shows commitment | |
| Companionate | 7~35 | Develops love gradually and peacefully, often starting as friendship that slowly evolves into love | |
| Pragmatic | 7~35 | Chooses partners based on rational considerations like education, financial status, social position, and shared interests | |
| Possessive | 7~35 | Shows strong possessiveness and jealousy, with stormy relationships full of ups and downs; ecstatic with small signs of affection but devastated by minor issues | |
| Altruistic | 7~35 | Opposite of possessive; completely devoted to partner, cares without expecting returns; extremely patient, makes no demands, and isn't jealous | |
| Note: Higher scores indicate stronger tendencies toward that love attitude type. Equal scores suggest multiple love attitude types. | |||
