The absence of all three of Sternberg’s components of love.

A

Non-Love

44
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

In this case, this love is not used in a trivial sense. Sternberg says that this intimate liking characterises true friendships in which a person feels a bondedness, a warmth, and a closeness with another but not intense passion or long-term commitment

A

Liking/friendship

45
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This love is pure passion. Romantic relationships often start out as infatuated love and become romantic love as intimacy develops over time. However, without developing intimacy or commitment, infatuated love may disappear suddenly.

A

Infatuated Love

46
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This love is characterised by commitment without intimacy or passion. Sometimes, a stronger love deteriorates into empty love.

A

Empty Love

47
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This love bonds individuals emotionally through intimacy and physically through passionate arousal.

A

Romantic Love

48
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This love is an intimate, non-passionate type of love that is stronger than friendship because of the element of long-term commitment. Sexual desire is not an element of companionate love. This type of love is often found in marriages in which the passion has gone out of the relationship but a deep affection and commitment remain. The love ideally shared between family members is a form of companionate love, as is the love between close friends who have a platonic but strong friendship.

A

Compassionate Love

49
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This love can be exemplified by a whirlwind courtship and marriage in which a commitment is motivated largely by passion without the stabilizing influence of intimacy.

A

Fatuous Love

50
Q

Triangular Theory - 8 KINDS OF LOVE

This is the complete form of love, representing an ideal relationship toward which people strive. Consummate love is theorised to be that love associated with the “perfect couple”. According to Sternberg, such couples will continue to have great sex fifteen years or more into the relationship, they can not imagine themselves happy over the long-term with anyone else, they overcome their few difficulties gracefully, and each delight in the relationship with one other. However, Sternberg cautions that maintaining a consummate love may be even harder than achieving it, stressing the importance of translating the components of love into action. “Without expression,” he warns, “even the greatest of loves can die”. Consummate love may not be permanent. If passion is lost over time, it may change into companionate love.

A

Consummate Love
