What Is Limerence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Limerence<\/a> is an involuntary cognitive and emotional state that involves an extreme or intense romantic desire for someone. In other words, limerence is a form of unhealthy, obsessional love<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early social challenges (such as the bond we form in our first relationship in life \u2013 that with our primary caregiver) can create unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our adult achievements \u2013 including relationships. In a nutshell, this is socially prescribed perfectionism, and it can lead to many maladaptive characteristics and relational difficulties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these maladaptive characteristics is limerence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The psychological underpinnings of the Limerence Test<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The items in this test cover the negative, positive, behavioral, and attitudinal aspects of limerence. These items were based on the literature and research identified in the references section in this report. Namely, we referred to the key findings outlined by Tennov (1979) as these have been fundamental in subsequent limerence research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tennov\u2019s key findings are outlined below (these have been rephrased for ease of understanding and succinctness). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
