<p>Feeling loved is critical for well-being, yet existing measures of love have primarily focused on love at the relationship level (particularly within romantic relationships) or on loving others in different types of love, rather than on the recipient’s subjective feeling of being loved by a specific close other beyond romantic relationship contexts. This study developed a feeling loved scale (FLS) based on a recently developed three-component framework of feeling loved across various relationships, including positive responsiveness (to needs), authentic connection, and sense of stability as three key components. In Study 1 (a college sample <i>n</i> = 314), exploratory factor analysis identified a correlated three-factor structure consistent with the theoretical framework and finalized the items. Study 2 (a racially diverse community sample <i>n</i> = 444) used confirmatory factor analysis to cross-validate the 12-item FLS in another representative sample. Study 3 established its psychometric validity through correlations and regressions in both samples. Results demonstrated great convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity, along with strong internal and test-retest reliability, suggesting FLS as a promising tool for assessing feeling loved by a specific close other and its role in well-being.</p>
