Abstract: | The purpose of this research was to determine whether Rubin's (1970) Liking and Love scales, the Interpersonal Jealousy scale of Mathes and Severa (1981), and a measure of sexual attraction, the Sexual Attraction scale, measure the same or independent dimensions of interpersonal attraction when applied to same- and opposite-sex friends rather than dating partner. It was found that the Liking and Love scales appeared to measure the same dimension of interpersonal attraction. However, this dimension was independent of the dimension measured by the Interpersonal Jealousy scale and the dimension measured by the Sexual Attraction scale. The latter two dimensions were also independent of each other. |
