    Study Notes

    Triangular Theory of Love

    • Passion: Represents physical attraction and sexual desire, a key element in romantic relationships.
    • Type of Love with Passion and Intimacy: This form of love showcases deep emotional connection but lacks commitment, often referred to as Romantic Love.
    • Type of Love with Commitment Alone: Known as Empty Love, it is characterized by a long-term commitment without accompanying passion or intimacy.
    • Quality of Love Peaking Early: Passion tends to be the quality that starts strong in relationships but usually fades over time.
    • Description of Passion: In the triangular theory of love, passion is defined as the intense feelings of longing and attraction often experienced at the beginning of a relationship.
    • Form of Love with Commitment Alone: Again, this is Empty Love, focused solely on the commitment aspect without emotional or physical closeness.
    • Three Fundamental Qualities: The theory comprises Passion, Intimacy, and Commitment, which combine in various forms to create different love types.
    • NOT a Fundamental Quality: According to Sternberg, qualities that do not fit into the categories of Passion, Intimacy, or Commitment are excluded from the triangular theory.
    • Type of Love with Passion and Commitment: Known as Fatuous Love, it features strong dedication and desire but lacks intimacy.
    • Type of Love Experienced as Intense but Short-lived: Passionate Love is often characterized by its overwhelming joy and intensity, but it rarely sustains over time.
    • Life Stage of Peak Passion: Typically occurs in early relationship stages where feelings of passion are heightened, alongside gradual growth in intimacy and commitment.
    • Type of Love with Passion and Intimacy but No Commitment: Again recognized as Romantic Love, highlighting the emotional bond without lasting commitment.
    • Type of Love with Intimacy and Commitment but No Passion: This is Companionate Love, which includes a deep emotional connection and commitment but lacks the excitement of passion.
    • Type of Love with Passion, Intimacy, and Commitment: This comprehensive form is known as Consummate Love, representing the ideal relationship that includes all three elements.
