在⼼理學界，愛情是個有趣卻少被深入探究的主題︔主要是因為愛情是複雜⽽主觀的個⼈經驗，很難以科學計量的⽅式來研究。然⽽，有系統的、客觀的研究愛情實有助於⼈們了解愛情的本質，以及⾃⼰所處的關係。本⽂即根據現今⼼理學界已發展的各種理論架構，從不同的研究取向來窺探愛情的⾯貌。愛情被視為⼀種所有戀愛中⼈幾乎共有的情緒體驗︔或被認為是代表個⼈對親密關係的⼀種獨特的表現⽅式與態度︔⽽愛情因著不同的個⼈，亦會呈現出多樣 的關係型態，不同的愛情內涵也與關係品質有明顯的關連。因此，愛情的內涵不再是狹隘⽽唯⼀，任何對愛情的討論必須考慮角度是否相同以及所指為何。⽽欲明⽩愛情的內涵，不論何種層次，均須採整合、完形（holistic）的觀點。在探討⼀般⼈（或個⼈）在經歷愛情時，須兼顧其情緒、認知與⾏為三⽅⾯的綜合體驗為何，才較能補捉愛情的全貌。經由本⽂的討論，筆者提出⼀些與愛情相關的衍⽣議題，如：國內⼀般⼈對愛情的看法為何︖屬於台灣⼈的愛情風格又是如何︖個別差異與愛情的關連，以及愛情關係如何演變︖這些均是未來學者可能致⼒的研究⽅向。

In the field of psychology, romantic love has been an intriguing but rarely explored topic. As romantic love is a complicated and subjective experiences, it is difficult for it to be studied in a scientific and measurable way. the study of love helps people understand the nature of romantic love aswell as the relationships they are involved in. This paper, based on different theories, attempts to reveal different features of romantic love from diverse research orientations. Love is regarded as a special emotion experienced by people in love; love also stands for individual behavior and attitudes toward the beloved, and thereby exhibits different relationship types. In this sense, the concept of romantic love should not be thought of in narrow and sole terms; any discussion of love should clarify its definition and aspects. A holistic, integrated approach can well describe individual experiences of romantic love that includes emotion, cognition, and behavior. This paper suggests that, the love styles among Taiwanese, and how love evolves and changes, deserve further studies.
