Article Abstract
Research studies on love have focused on the study of typologies, among which Sternberg's triangular theory of love and the typology of Hendrick and Hendrick deriving from that of Sternberg have been the most common and empirically verified. Love types have been linked to all types of sociodemographic and psychological variables. However, these studies possess shortcomings: When the data are analyzed according to age, only a few ranges are studied; with respect to other variables such as satisfaction, typically only two levels are studied, and no continuous study is conducted. This study attempts to overcome these limitations. It analyzes types of love according to the two systems noted earlier and based on two variables: age and satisfaction. For satisfaction, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) by Diener et al. was used, and 439 subjects aged 15 to 89 years participated in the study. The results show that both of the variables-age and satisfaction-explain that love types occur in varying degrees; however, satisfaction is more predictive than is age. Possibilities for future research are discussed.

Poetry writing can serve as a means for personal expression of feelings, thoughts, and attitudes toward various subjects, as well as for a deeper understanding of lived experiences and identity. The present study examined the aging experiences of men over the age of 70 (N = 15), living in a continuing care retirement community in Israel, as reflected in the poems they wrote. The poems were analyzed using latent content analysis, resulting in a typology of three types of poems: a) Preparation for end-of-life poems, b) Positive aging poems, and c) Nostalgic poems.

Close relationships are typically distinguished by whether they are "romantic" versus "platonic" and this distinction is often based on sexual attraction and/or behavior. However, several forms of close relationships do not follow this pattern. Thus, the purpose of this research was to explore how individuals distinguish between romantic relationships and close, non-romantic relationships in non-sexual contexts.

Background: Peacekeeper-perpetrated sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) is widespread. While the United Nation's (UN) zero-tolerance policy prohibits all exploitative and abusive peacekeeper sexual interactions with host community members, its implementation has been criticized for failing to recognize women's agency and survival needs by oversimplifying the complex and dynamic romantic and transactional elements. This study aims to demonstrate that not all sexual interactions between peacekeepers and host community members are equally exploitative or abusive.
