Description

This document presents the Love Attitude Scale (LAS) Chinese version, which is designed to understand individuals’ attitudes toward love. The items refer to “he/she,” indicating the individual’s current boyfriend/girlfriend or, if absent, their last partner. If the person has never been in a romantic relationship, they are encouraged to imagine a scenario when answering. Respondents are asked to select the number that best reflects their actual situation for each statement.
