The Love Attitudes Scale (LAS) is a well-standardized measure of six o
f Lee's (1973) love styles, The LAS has six subscales, each with seven
items, Several researchers have selected subsets of the items to crea
te very brief versions of the LAS; however, no brief version has been
fully validated. To satisfy the need for brief love scales, we selecte
d the best four of seven items per subscale, using a large data collec
tion, and began the process of restandardization. Three studies, with
over 2700 participants, are reported that yielded two new short forms
of the LAS, one with 4-item and one with 3-item subscales. The data in
dicate that these versions have even stronger psychometric properties
than the original scale. The LAS: Short Form should be suitable for re
searchers who need a brief love scale as part of a battery of relation
ship measures.
