Abstract

This is a pilot study, its aim is to provide first insight to clarify whether love for a romantic partner (measured by different scales) and well-being (subjective, psychological and happiness) are interrelated. Indeed, only few studies has been conducted on the topic in the past few years (cf. ongoing scoping review) and they varied in methods for measuring both concepts and assessing their relatedness.
