Reliability and Concurrent Validity of the Sternberg Triangular Love Scale

Joseph T. Chojnacki, W. Bruce Walsh

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the reliability and concurrent validity of the Sternberg Triangular Love Scale. From introductory courses in psychology 90 students who were currently involved in dating relationships completed the scale and a group of other measures in reference to their dating partners. The scale demonstrated adequate internal consistency and 2-wk. test-retest reliability, but high subscale interrelatedness. Results supported hypotheses designed to assess the concurrent validity of the Sternberg subscales. Possible explanations for the high interrelatedness between the subscales are discussed.
