抄録

This study aimed to examine the relationship between romantic passion and the motivational factors driving adolescents to form romantic relationships. Undergraduates (N=132) who had experienced at least one romantic relationship were invited to participate in a questionnaire. The relationships between the Romantic Passion Scale and the Motivation for Romantic Relationships Scale were examined. The results were as follows. First, “harmonious passion” was related to “intrinsic regulation,” “identified regulation,” “internalized regulation,” and “external regulation.” Second, “obsessive passion” was related to “internalized regulation,” and “external regulation.” The results suggested that romantic passion plays a pivotal role in shaping the motivation of adolescent students when it comes to romantic relationships.
