Gupta and Singh (1982) is an exploratory study of love and liking in arranged and love marriages in India. The study explored how these feelings are influenced by the type of marriage, duration of marriage, and sex of the participants. The researchers used Rubin’s love and liking scales to measure these constructs. Their findings showed that love was significantly greater in love marriages than in arranged marriages. However, liking was significantly higher in arranged marriages, especially in longer-duration marriages. The study also found that sex was a significant factor in both love and liking, with males tending to be more likable than females. Love was significantly affected by type of marriage and duration, while liking was only affected by duration and sex.
