Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale Discussion Forum

Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale Discussion Forum

Q Now that you have answered the questions on the activity (and reviewed the answers), post a discussion with your responses and reactions to the information that was provided. First, provide a brief description on the person you chose to take this over (e.g., a child, a significant other, a family member, etc.) and why you chose that particular person. Sternberg sees love as being composed of three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. The first 15 questions reflect intimacy, the second 15 measure passion, and the final 15 reflect commitment. You will add up your scores for each group of 15 items. Find the scores closest to your three totals in the appropriate column below to determine the degree to which you experience each of these three components of love. Intimacy (Questions 1-15) Passion (Questions 16-30) Commitment (Questions 17-45) Rating 93 73 85 Significantly below average 102 85 96 Somewhat below average 111 98 108 Average 120 110 120 Somewhat above average 129 123 131 Significantly above average Next, explain why you think you got the numbers that you did. According to Sternberg, high scores in all three components would indicate consummate love. That being said, keep in mind that uneven or low scores do not necessarily mean that a relationship is not strong, as all relationships have ups and downs; further, relationships may change over time (as we discussed in the previous forum). Remember, if you do not feel comfortable providing certain information, do not feel obligated to do so. Lastly, explain how this questionnaire (and the information provided from it) could be useful and why. ________________________________________ Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before the required date/time by clicking the '**REPLY HERE**' post. Develop a substantive main thread addressing each part of the prompt in full. Your initial thread should be 2-3 paragraphs in length (200+ words total). Support your points with examples or illustrations from the text. Quotations/citations are not strictly required, but APA style should be used if quoting or paraphrasing from the literature or outside sources. Review the How-To Guide: APA Formatting and Citations page (linked in class) as needed. Task 2: After you have created and posted your main response, you are then required to read and respond to a minimum of 2 of your classmates' discussion posts. All substantive replies count, whether it be replies to several classmates’ main post, or multiple replies to a single classmate (substantive replies to your professor would also count for credit). Think of your responses in terms of a contribution to an ongoing academic dialogue. Incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences. Again, don’t forget to use proper APA documentation whenever necessary.

For the activity, I have selected my partner because I love and care about him. I would like to take this over my significant other who has been a complete support system in my life. My better half has always been there to support me at times of emotional melancholy and has motivated me towards higher goals. He has always been by my side to cooperate with my issues and my anxiety. The way he has guided me has changed my outlook on life. I feel a sense of belonging and comfort when he is around. He takes over the responsibilities with integrity and always respects my decision with a welcoming gesture.
