摘要：The model of romantic love is given great importance in the Spanish context, and its related myths are widely accepted. It
has also been suggested that the concept of love can play a role in the origin and maintenance of gender violence. As an

Spanish population and to analyze any possible differences in this conception resulting from gender and age. A short version
of the Love Attitudes Scale was administered to a representative sample of 1,351 people. The results show that both men
and women widely accept the love styles Eros, Agape, Storge and Pragma, reject the Ludus style, and are indifferent to the
Mania style. However, the order of preference for these love styles is different for men and women and for different age
groups. The results are analyzed and discussed
