Zick Rubin is known for his questionnaire measuring love. To develop this measure, Rubin first wrote a large number of thoughts based on his understanding of the terms ‘love’ and ‘liking.’ Rubin decided that love has three elements: attachment (a physical or emotional need for the other), caring (giving to the other), and intimacy (close and confidential communication). Liking, according to Rubin, is undifferentiated positive regard. Next, Rubin sorted the questionnaire items into ‘love’ and ‘liking sets based on their understanding of these terms. Then he chose 70 items and gave them to 200 undergraduate students. The students were asked to respond to each item in terms of their feelings toward their boyfriend or girlfriend (if they had one) and in terms of their feelings toward a platonic friend of the opposite sex.
