Validation of the Mexican Version of the Love Styles Inventory Applied to Romantic Grief

Romantic grief is a painful experience for human beings, and it depends on the love that existed between people. There are many theories that explain the ways of loving, but Lee's Theory of Love Styles is one of the most important. For this reason, this research set out to adjust, validate, and examine the equivalence of the Inventory of Love Styles for Adults by Ojeda Garcia (2006; 2007) in people who have decided to terminate their relationship (leavers) and in those who have had to accept that decision (abandoned). For this, we worked with two non-probabilistic samples of Mexican people in a situation of mourning. The results show a valid and reliable scale whose six-factor model and adjustment indices were satisfactory. In addition, the invariance depending on the role played during the break was partially verified.
