Abstract

This chapter “Love Concepts, Their Diverse Contents, and Definitions” analyzes the complex conceptual reality and phenomenology of many things, which we call love and other closely related constructs. Among those are the basic and complex units of subjective internal experience of love, such as sensations, appraisals, emotions, moods, attitudes, traits, and values, which represent a multilevel structure of love experience. Among those are the units of objective external reality of love, such as expressions, actions, interactions, behaviors, relationships, and love as evolving process. The chapter also highlights the need for theoretical clarity in conceptual and operational definitions of what love is in a particular study. Various types of scientific definitions are possible. The distinctions between individual and relationship levels of love, as well as between personal and cultural models of love, are important to include.
