“^ Scientific criticism
Chapman's model was based on his reported experience as a pastor advising couples, rather than grounded in any known scientific principles. There have been several research studies trying to evaluate Chapman's love languages framework, with mixed results. A 2022 study provided some evidence in favor of the love languages framework, while summarizing past empirical support for it as “equivocal." [8] A recent article emphasized "a paucity of empirical work" and criticized the invalidity of the construct in several dimensions. 9][10]
Scientific
Scientific studies on the validity of love languages have been mixed or inconclusive, although existing research leans toward refuting the concept. 1|67 Psychologist Julie Schwartz Gottman has cast doubt on the concept of a "primary" love language and the usefulness of insisting on showing or receiving love in only one way. 8] In a 2017 study published in Personal Relationships explored 67 heterosexual couples and determined there was very limited evidence to suggest having synchronized love languages related to satisfaction.9 In a 2024 study by Emily Impett et al. published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, they refuted Chapman's three main claims arguing: there are more than five ways to express or receive love, people do not have a "primary" way to express or receive love, and relationships don't suffer from partners having differing ways to express or receive love. 10]” /End ID]
