ABSTRACT
Many classifications and typologies of love exist in the literature, but the most common distinction is between passionate love and companionate love. In 1986, Hatfield and Sprecher published the Passionate Love Scale for the purpose of promoting more research on this intense type of love. The Sexual and Relationship Distress Scale is the first measure of its kind, assessing the distress and consequences experienced by individuals when there are sexual problems within their relationship. The 7-item Attitudes Toward Polyamory scale measures individual differences in people’s attitudes toward the polyamorous relationship orientation. The Multidimensional Sexual Approach Questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess several different ways in which people can approach their sexual relationships. The Sexual Relationship Scale is an objective self-report instrument that was designed to measure communal and exchange approaches to sexual relationships. The Sexual Rejection Scale has been used to measure sexual rejection among individuals in relationships.
