What types of love triangles exist, according to Sternberg?
What will be an ideal response?
In his triangular theory of love, Sternberg depicts love in terms of three components, described as vertices of a triangle: intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. The importance of each component varies according to the type of relationship and also the time. There are, however, several triangles concerning one relationship. There is a current triangle but also an ideal triangle—what we desire from a relationship. Of course, each person in the relationship has his or her own triangles. There are also self-perceived and other-perceived triangles—how one side sees something (e.g., his or her commitment) and how other side sees it. Generally, the overlapping of these triangles influences the
relationship satisfaction.
