Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Love
Robert Sternberg has developed a theory of
love that is based on the constructs of intimacy, passion, and
commitment. According to Sternberg, these three elements may be combined
in various ways to form eight different kinds of liking/loving
relationships. Your task in this exercise is to indicate in the table
below how these different elements combine to form these relationships.
Across the top of the table are listed the three elements. Down the left
side of the table are listed the eight different kinds of relationships.
At the intersection of each row and column is a box. If one of the
elements exists in a given relationship write "yes" in the corresponding
box.
