Validity Studies Second-Order Structure Underlying the Hendrick-Hendrick Love Attitudes Scale

Abstract

Loving is a fundamental aspect of being human. Yet knowledge of the nature of love remains primitive because until recentiy, it was not considered scientifically respectable to investigate love phenomena. The present study used hierarchical factor analytic methods to test the structure underlying data provided by 499 subjects on the 1990 version of the Hendrick and Hendrick Love Attitudes Scale. The results suggest that some variations in Lee's measurement model may result in an improved model fit.
