Abstract
The research reports on results of an initial application of the Love Attitude Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) in Serbia. The study was conducted on the sample of 127 respondents, mainly of adolescent age, from Subotica, Serbia. We explored the factor structure of the Love Attitude Scale, analyzed relationships between its subscales, and examined relevant correlates of its dimensions. We also performed extensive item analysis of the scale, and proposed several new items for the use in the revised Love Attitude Scale for Serbia. Correlates of the revised subscales correspond to those obtained with the original scale and in other countries. The results confirm cross-cultural stability of the six-dimensional structure of the Love Attitude Scale. It was concluded that the Serbian adaptation was successful, and that the translated and slightly revised scale can be used as a valid instrument for the assessment of the six love styles.
Highlights
The research reports on results of an initial application of the Love Attitude Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) in Serbia
Factor analysis of the original Love Attitude Scale items We first report on the results of factor analysis of the original Love Attitude Scale items
Revision of the Love Attitude Scale Because we did not obtain the expected factor structure from the original items, we examined whether some improvement could be achieved by the introduction of the newly created experimental items
Summary
The research reports on results of an initial application of the Love Attitude Scale (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986) in Serbia. We explored the factor structure of the Love Attitude Scale, analyzed relationships between its subscales, and examined relevant correlates of its dimensions. Among the most interesting and extensively used scales is Hendrick and Hendrick‟s Love Attitude Scale (1986, 1989, 1992, 1993) This scale was developed by Hendrick and Hendrick (1986) on the basis of Lee‟s typology of love styles (Lee, 1973). Through a series of studies, Hendrick and Hendrick developed the 42-item Love Attitude Scale, comprising 7 items measuring each of the six love styles. This research reports on the results of an initial application of the Love Attitude Scale in Serbia. We performed extensive item analysis of the scale, and proposed several new items for use in the revised Love Attitude Scale for Serbia
