愛情類型、嫉妒與關係滿意度之相關研究

以往有關Lee（1973）所提之六種愛情類型的研究，都只探討愛情類型分量表得分與一些變項間的關係（例如，自尊、自我揭露程度、關係滿意度、性別等），關於不同愛情類型分量表得與嫉妒因應行為的配對與關係滿意度之關係這個重要但被略的議題也在本研究予以探討。本研究受試為126對18歲至35歲，交往半年以上的未婚男女，研究工具為愛情態度量表、人際嫉妒量表、嫉妒因應行為量表及關係評估量表。研究發現情慾之愛、友誼之愛及利他之愛得分越高，關係滿意度越高，且越不常採用間接嫉妒因應行為，而遊戲之愛及依附之愛得分越高，關係滿意度越低，且越常採用間接嫉妒因應行為。情慾之愛、遊戲之愛及依附之愛得分越高，嫉妒程度越高，友誼之愛及利他之愛得分越高，嫉妒程度越低。情慾之愛及利他之愛得分越高，越常採用直接嫉妒因應行為，而遊戲之愛得分越高，越不常採用直接嫉妒因應行為。在愛情類型配對方面則發現「相似配對組」的關係滿意度顯著高於「相異配對組」。至於嫉妒程度、嫉妒因應行為與關係滿意度之間的關係則發現：男性的嫉妒程度越高，關係滿意度越低，此外研究結果亦顯示採用直接而少用間接嫉妒因應行為、高嫉妒因應行為及低嫉妒因應行為的受試之關係滿意度皆顯著高於常採用間接而少用直接嫉妒因應行為的受試。在嫉妒程度配對方面的結果顯示「男女皆為低嫉妒組」中的男性關係滿意度顯著高於「男女皆為高嫉妒組」中的男性關係滿意度。上述結果的可能原因均在討論部份予以探討。

Past research on Lee’s six love styles tend to focus on correlation between scores on each subscales and different variables such as self-esteem， sex attitude， relation satisfaction， gender， etc. The correlation between subscale scores and jealousy， and between different love style pairs and relation satisfaction， however， have not been investigated， and are the focuses of the present study. Subjects were 126 pairs of 18-35 years old who have been dating each other for more than half-year. They were interviewed by love attitude scale， interpersonal jealousy scale， jealousy coping scale， and relationship assessment scale. The results show that （1）the higher the eros， storge， or agape score， the higher the relation satisfaction score， and the less often indirect jealousy coping strategies are used， but the higher the ludus or mania score， the lower the relation satisfaction score， and the more often indirect jealousy coping strategies are used；（2）the higher the eros， ludus or mania score， the higher the jealousy score， but the higher the storage or agape score， the lower the relation satisfaction score；（3）the higher the eros or agape score， the more often the direct coping strategies are used， but the higher the ludus score， the less often the direct coping strategies are used；（4）partners with similar love style have higher relation satisfaction than partners with different love style；（5）for male subjects， the higher the jealousy score， the lower the relation satisfaction score；（6） these subjects who often use indirect but not direct coping strategies have lowest relation satisfaction score than all other groups of subjects， and （7）males have higher relation satisfaction in “both low” jealousy pairs than in “both high” jealousy pairs. The possible reasons and implications of the above findings are discussed in the paper.
