Abstract

Abstract A bootstrap factor analysis was used to test the validity of the Love Relationships Scale by combining the data from earlier studies (Borrello & Thompson, 1987; Thompson & Borrello, 1987a, 1987b) with data from an additional 51 subjects recruited for this study. The results provide insight into the structure underlying perceptions of love relationships and suggest that a g-factor phenomenon involving obsessive thoughts dominates the experience of love. The utility of bootstrap analysis in validity studies is discussed.
