对来自斯滕贝格（1986）的《爱的三角理论》的预测进行了检验。204名成年人完成了问卷调查，评估了几个结构，包括该理论的三个组成部分：亲密，激情和承诺。结果表明，混合支持三角理论。正如预期的那样，自我报告的承诺水平更高的受访者在更严重的关系（即已婚与未婚）。随着时间的推移，激情的预测下降只出现在女性身上，亲密程度通常不会显示出长期关系的预测下降。承诺是关系满意度的最强大和一致的预测，特别是对于最长的关系。其他结果表明，需要更多的心理测量这些结构的声音措施，并使用成人，非学生样本的浪漫爱情的调查的可取性。
Predictions derived from Sternberg's (1986) Triangular Theory of Love were tested. Two-hundred-and-four adults completed questionnaires assessing several constructs, including each of the three components of the theory: intimacy, passion and commitment. Results indicated mixed support for the Triangular Theory. As expected, self-reported levels of commitment were higher for the respondents in more serious (i.e. married vs unmarried) relationships. The predicted decline over time in passion emerged only for females, and intimacy levels did not generally display the predicted decline for longer relationships. Commitment was the most powerful and consistent predictor of relationship satisfaction, especially for the longest relationships. Other results indicated a need for more psychometrically sound measures of these constructs, and the desirability of using adult, non-student samples for investigations of romantic love.
