Abstract
Infatuation is the first stage of romantic love. An act report consisting of 78 prototypical acts of infatuation was constructed (Buss & Craik, 1983). Participants completed the act report and several other scales. A factor analysis yielded eight factors labeled general infatuation, self-sacrifice, monopolizing, insecurity, confidence, irrationality, obsession, and closeness.
