In 1986, Hatfield and Sprecher published the Passionate Love Scale (PLS) for the purpose of promoting more research on this intense type of love. Although a companion scale to measure companionate love was not also developed by this team of researchers, other measures exist in the literature designed to assess this type of love (see, for example, Grote & Frieze’s [1994] Friendship-Based Love Scale).
