WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Love Attitude Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

style of love

This measure assesses individual differences in beliefs and expectations about romantic love and long-term partnership. The Love Attitude Scale is intended to characterize a respondent’s orientation along a continuum from more idealized, passion-focused views to more pragmatic, commitment-focused views.

Respondents rate 29 items, typically completed in about 6 minutes. Results are commonly used to support clinical formulation and discussion in relationship-focused assessment or counseling by clarifying how a person conceptualizes love and commitment.

The Love Attitude Scale was originally developed by David Knox and Michael Sporakowski as a brief instrument to inform work with couples and individuals. Scores should be interpreted in context, alongside relevant clinical history and current relationship functioning, rather than as a standalone indicator of relationship quality.
