Resumen

La teoría del amor de Lee es una de las más empleadas en la actualidad. La Escala de Actitudes hacia el Amor—fundamentada en la teoría de Lee—ha demostrado en otras culturas y poblaciones su adecuación psicométrica. No obstante, la escala no ha sido validada en adolescentes. Así, el objetivo del presente estudio es validar la Escala de Actitudes hacia el Amor en una muestra representativa de adolescentes. Un total de 413 estudiantes de educación secundaria contestaron a la escala junto a otro cuestionario que evalúan mitos del amor. El análisis factorial confirmatorio muestra un ajuste adecuado (RMSEA = 0,03) para una estructura de seis dimensiones relacionadas. La escala muestra adecuadas propiedades psico- métricas y una buena fiabilidad.

Abstract

Lee's theory of love is currently one of the most widely used. The Love Attitude Scale—based on Lee's theory—has shown good psychometric properties in other cultures and populations. However, the scale has not been validated in adolescents. Thus, the objective of this study is to validate the Love Attitudes Scale in a representative sample of adolescents. A total of 413 secondary school students answered the Love Attitude Scale together with another questionnaire assessing love myths. The confirmatory factor analysis has shown good fit indexes (RMSEA =.03) for a related six-factor model. The scale has shown adequate psychometric properties and good reliability.
