This study examined the psychometric properties of an adolescent version of the 'triangular love scale' (TLS), which assesses three components of romantic relationships: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Using data from 435 Dutch adolescents aged 12-18 years, we found evidence for convergent validity, showing that dimensions of intimacy, passion, and commitment were all positively correlated with relationship satisfaction and duration. Evidence was also found for divergent validity, as adolescents' perceptions of the main (dis)advantages of being involved in romantic relationships showed a specific pattern of associations with intimacy, passion, and commitment. Finally, CFA analyses in LISREL showed that a model in which all separate questionnaire items were specified to load on three underlying, correlated factors (intimacy, passion, commitment) fit the data adequately. Overall, this measure seems appropriate for use with adolescents.
本研究考察了青少年版“三角恋爱量表”（TLS）的心理测量特性，该量表评估浪漫关系的三个组成部分：亲密、激情和承诺。利用来自435名12至18岁荷兰青少年的数据，我们发现了收敛效度的证据，表明亲密、激情和承诺维度均与恋爱满意度和恋爱时长呈正相关。还发现了区分效度的证据，因为青少年对恋爱关系主要（不）利因素的认知呈现出与亲密、激情和承诺的特定关联模式。最后，LISREL中的验证性因素分析表明，一个将所有单独问卷项目指定加载到三个潜在相关因素（亲密、激情、承诺）上的模型能够充分拟合数据。总体而言，该测量方法似乎适用于青少年。
