Abstract
El propósito de la investigación consistió en determinar la relación existente entre la actitud hacia el amor, los componentes del amor, la resolución de conflictos y la satisfacción en la pareja en adultos jóvenes, casados y convivientes, de la provincia de Concepción, Chile. Participaron 160 sujetos heterosexuales, 97 mujeres y 63 hombres, de edades entre 23 y 40 años, quienes mantenían una relación mayor a un año. Se emplearon la Escala de Ajuste Marital de Locke-Wallace, la Escala Triangular del Amor de Sternberg, la Escala de Actitudes hacia el Amor de Hendrick y Hendrick, el Inventario de Estilos de Resolución de Conflicto de Kurdek y un cuestionario socio-demográfico. Se observó que el componente de intimidad, la actitud eros y el estilo de negociación al enfrentar conflictos, presentan las correlaciones más altas con la satisfacción. Por otro lado, el único predictor positivo de satisfacción es la intimidad, en cambio, la retirada como método de enfrentar conflictos y la actitud ludus eran predictores negativos. Este estudio permite ampliar los conocimientos en las dinámicas de relaciones de pareja en la adultez temprana y brindar nuevas herramientas para la psicoterapia de pareja.

Locke-Wallace's Marital Adjustment scale, the Triangular Love Scale of Sternberg, the love attitude scale of Hendrix and Hendrix, Conflict resolution styles inventory of Kurdek and socio-demographic questionnaire were applied. Is observed that the component of intimacy, the eros attitude and style of negotiation to conflict management, have the highest correlations with satisfaction. On the other hand, the only positive predictor of satisfaction is intimacy; the withdrawal as a method of managing conflicts and ludus attitude were negative predictors.
