Falling in love is a universal human behavior. Studies indicate that both adolescents and adults experience romantic love (RL) and emotional states of joy and happiness. However, there is evidence that among adolescents RL is also associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, but no data on these associations are available for adults. The aim of the present study was therefore to explore the associations between RL, symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypomania, and sleep among a sample of Iranian adults.
One hundred adults (mean age: 26 years; 53% males) took part in the study. They completed a series of questionnaires related to RL, symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypomania, and sleep.
An increased state of RL was associated with the bright side of hypomania, stronger symptoms of depression and state anxiety, and better sleep quality. There was no relation to sleep duration.
Unlike psychobiological studies assessing highly selected samples of adults happily in love, the present pattern of results shows that in adults, RL is not entirely a joyful and happy period of life. Rather, data suggest that for young adults, falling in love might be a critical life event also associated with uncertainty and unpleasant feelings.
坠入爱河是一种普遍的人类行为。研究表明，青少年和成年人都会经历浪漫爱情（RL）以及喜悦和幸福的情绪状态。然而，有证据表明，在青少年中，浪漫爱情也与抑郁和焦虑症状相关，但尚无关于成年人这些关联的数据。因此，本研究的目的是探讨伊朗成年人样本中浪漫爱情、抑郁症状、焦虑症状、轻躁狂症状和睡眠之间的关联。
一百名成年人（平均年龄：26岁；53%为男性）参与了该研究。他们完成了一系列与浪漫爱情、抑郁症状、焦虑症状、轻躁狂症状和睡眠相关的问卷。
浪漫爱情状态的增强与轻躁狂的积极方面、更强的抑郁症状和状态焦虑以及更好的睡眠质量相关。与睡眠时间无关。
与评估精心挑选的处于热恋中的成年样本的心理生物学研究不同，目前的结果模式表明，在成年人中，浪漫爱情并非完全是生活中快乐幸福的时期。相反，数据表明，对于年轻人来说，坠入爱河可能是一个关键的生活事件，也与不确定性和不愉快的感觉相关。
