WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Love and Liking Scales Test

close relationshipslovefamily adaptation

This self-report measure is designed to differentiate affectionate liking from passionate love within a specific relationship. The Love and Liking Scales, developed by E. Berscheid and C. E. Hatfield, asks respondents to rate relationship-relevant statements to characterize their emotional experience.

The instrument consists of 14 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Scores are intended to support clinical formulation by clarifying whether a person’s bond is primarily characterized by liking, love, or a combination of both; the Love and Liking Scales may be used as an adjunct to clinical interview in couple or individual assessment.
