Abstract	Brief version of the Triangular Love Scale: evidences of factor validity and reliability. This study aimed at knowing the psychometric parameters of a shorted version of the Triangular Love Scale. Specifically, it tried to joint evidences of its factor validity and reliability in the Paraibano milieu. Participants were 307 undergraduate students from Joao Pessoa (PB), which have a stable heterosexual relationship. Their mean age was 23.4 years old (sd = 6.22; ranging from 17 to 56), most of them female (69.4%) and single (73%). They answered the Triangular Love Scale and demographic asks. Results support the psychometric adequacy of this measure, which showed three components (varimax rotation; accounting for 67.7% of the total variance), with satisfactory Cronbach’s Alpha: commitment (α = 0.88), passion (α = 0.87), and intimacy (α = 0.86). Women scored higher than men in commitment. These findings were discussed based on literature, confirming the adequacy of the scale. Future studies were suggested too.
