The Interrelationship between Love Styles and Relationship Satisfaction among Haigazian University Students in Lebanon (SBS thesis, Haigazian University)https://doi.org/10.62811/th.0080https://haigrepository.haigazian.edu.lb/handle/123456789/307The hypotheses of the study were: 1) Passionate love would be positively correlated with the Eros love style, 2) passionate love would be negatively correlated with the Ludus love style, 3) self-centered sexuality would be negatively correlated with the Agape love style, 4) passionate love would be the greatest predictor of relationship satisfaction, and 5) relationship satisfaction would increase significantly more as individuals became more securely attached. The participants had to complete the following scales: the Passionate Love Scale (PLS), the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS), the Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ), the Love Attitudes Scale (LAS), And the Multidimensional Relationship Questionnaire (MRQ). After the data were collected, a correlation was performed to test for hypotheses 1, 2, 3, and 5, and a multiple regression was performed to determine what predicts relationship satisfaction, and to test for hypothesis 4, which stated that passionate love would be the greatest predictor of relationship satisfaction. The results revealed that passionate love was positively correlated with Eros. However, it was not significantly correlated with Ludus. In addition, self-centered sexuality was significantly and negatively correlated with Agape. Therefore, hypotheses 1 and 3 were supported, but hypothesis 2 was not. Moreover, passionate love was not the greatest predictor of relationship satisfaction, contrary to the prediction that it was, and secure attachment was positively and significantly correlated with relationship satisfaction. Moreover, it was, in fact, the greatest predictor of relationship satisfaction. Hence, hypothesis 4 was not confirmed whereas hypothesis 5 was.
