Abstract

PROBLEM: understanding the neural underpinnings of romantic relationships and the impact of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms on these relationships. OBJECTIVE: delve into romantic relationships, focusing on passionate love. Analyze differences in the perception of passionate love using psychometric scales, the relationship between OCD and love attitudes, and how they affect relationship satisfaction. METHOD: a cross-sectional quantitative study with 114 participants surveyed via Google Forms, managed by the Science and Passion clinic. Participants were assessed using the Hatfield and Rapson scale, Hendrik and Hendrik scale, Sternberg Triangular Scale, and correlated with the Y-BOCS, allowing exploration of the relationships between passionate love, love attitudes, and obsession-compulsion symptoms in the sample. Subsequent quantitative analyses yielded significant results. RESULTS: a noticeable inverse relationship is observed between "Intrusive Thoughts" and "Obsessive Thoughts," with 37.70% and 29.9%, respectively. Furthermore, "Passion" at 21.16% and "Physical Proximity" scoring 22.89% show a significant correlation. "Ludus" scores at 14% and moderately contrasts with "Commitment" at 18.5%. CONCLUSION: there is a 7.8-point contrast in prevalence between "Obsessive Thoughts" and "Intrusive Thoughts," indicating mild severity. A significant correlation of 1.73 points exists between "Passion" and "Physical Proximity." Finally, a marked discrepancy of 4.5 points between the low score of "Ludus" and the moderate level of "Commitment" is noted, indicating a lack of playfulness in committed relationships.
