Thus, it is an open questions whether...
The Triangular Theory of Love (measured with Sternberg's Scale – STLS) is a prominent theoretical concept in empirical research on love. To expand the culturally homogeneous body previous psychometric regarding STLS, we conducted large-scale cross-cultural study use this scale. In total, examined more than 11,000 respondents, but as result applied exclusion criteria, final analyses were based sample 7332 participants from 25 countries (from all inhabited continents).
