This study aimed to examine the relationship between romantic self-concept (self-concept in the realm of love) and satisfaction in one’s love life. Drawing from a population of mainly college students, overall self-concept was measured using the “Six-Factor Self-Concept Scale for Adults” (Stake, 1994). Additionally, the assessment was augmented by incorporating several more curated questions specifically designed to measure one’s romantic self-concept. Moreover, their satisfaction in love life was measured using Neto’s (2005) “Satisfaction with Love Life Scale”. Lastly “The Relationship Assessment Scale” (Hendrick, 1988) was used to measure couple satisfaction for those who were not single. The guiding hypothesis proposed that those with a higher (more positive) romantic self-concept will experience greater satisfaction levels within their love lives. This research highlights the intricate dynamics and influences shaping the link between individuals' self-perceptions and their experiences in romance.
