摘要：This research had two objectives: 1) to verify if the love stories described by Sternberg (1996) are useful for the accomplishment of four tasks: (a) to describe the current/last loving relationships of the participants of the research (b) to identify love stories they were more identified, (c) t to identify love stories that they were less identified and (d) identify the love stories that they would like to live and (2) to verify if there is any relation between the answers presented on these four tasks. Thirty-eight men and thirty-eight women, university students, answered four questions, one for each of the four tasks above. All 24 histories were used to answer at least one of these four tasks, for at least one of the participants. Eleven of 24 stories were used in the tasks (a), (b) and (d). Seventeen love stories were used in the task (c). The amounts of uses of stories in these four tasks presented correlations statistically significant. The answers of men and women to these four tasks were similar (the correlations of Pearson varied between -0,43 and 0,92). These results confirm the utility of these stories to describe and to evaluate different aspects of a loving relationship.
