Abstract
The perceived personality traits associated with different love attitudes were examined using Hendrick & Hendrick's (1986) Love Attitudes Scale as stimulus material for the expression of six love styles (Lee, 1973). One group of subjects was asked to generate descriptive personality traits for six target persons, each of whom represented one of the six love attitudes. A second group rated the importance of the various traits for describing a particular target person. It was found that each love attitude had relatively distinct personality traits associated with it. Thus, the target persons representing the different love attitudes were perceived quite differently. The results suggest that there may be different prototypes for different styles of love.
