This study investigated perceptions of love across the lifespan using Sternberg’s triangular theory of love, which distinguishes between passion, intimacy, and commitment. The study aimed to (a) investigate the psychometric properties of the short Triangular Love Scale (TLS-short) in adolescents and adults (see Appendix), and (b) track age and gender differences in the three love components of the TLS-short in a sample of 12- to 88-year-olds (N = 2791). The three-factor structure of the TLS-short was confirmed in both the adolescent and adult sample. Adolescents (12–17 years) reported lower levels of all love components compared to young adults (18–30 years). Late adults (50+) reported lower levels of passion and intimacy, but similar levels of commitment compared to young (18–30 years) and middle adults (30–50 years). Gender differences in the perceptions of all three love components were present but less sizeable than suggested in popular accounts and earlier academic research.

Sociosexuality refers to the propensity to engage in sexual relations without closeness or commitment, varying from a restricted to an unrestricted orientation. The aim of this research was to scrutinise the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of the revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R; Penke & Asendorpf, 2008). The study included 549 persons (50% women) aged 18–75 years (M = 38.73; SD = 17.77). The psychometric properties of the SOI-R were analysed by means of confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, and validity. Confirmatory factor analysis showed the expected three-factor structure of the measure. The SOI-R presented adequate internal consistency. Women were less unrestricted than men in all facets of sociosexuality. This Portuguese version of the SOI-R seems to be reliable and valid for evaluating sociosexuality in a Portuguese-speaking population, and can be utilised for experimental and applied works. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed.

The Free Will and Determinism Plus (FAD+) is a widely-used questionnaire in research of belief in free will and has been translated into different languages. The present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of FAD+. We first translated and back-translated the FAD+, and then surveyed 1474 young adults, with 1333 valid data, in different sites in China. The first half of the data (n = 590) were used for items analysis, which resulted in the removal of 3 items. The rest of the data (n = 743) were used to assess the reliability, construct validity, and factor structure of the 24-item Chinese FAD+. Results revealed that the Chinese FAD+ are relatively reliable (α [.60 ~ .78], ω [.60 ~ .78], test-retest correlation [.54~ .59]) and valid (four-factor structure). Our results suggest that the 24-item FAD+ could be potentially useful for future studies that will use a similar population as ours.

This paper reports conceptual development and empirical use of the Multigenerational Interconnectedness Scale, designed to reflect financial, functional, and psychological connections between adolescents or young adults and their families. Initial data regarding psychometric properties are presented. Analysis of data gathered from a sample of 337 never-married individuals yielded a three-factor structure that corresponded to theoretically derived dimensions of Financial Interconnectedness, Functional Interconnectedness, and Psychological Interconnectedness. Further, use of the scale is reviewed as evidence of the scale's reliability and validity. Finally, consideration is given use as a practical and effective tool in research on adolescents and families.
