Abstract
Fear of Love and Intimacy Assessment (FLIA)
normative dataset currently contains
144
participant records collected between
Jun 23, 2026
and
Aug 30, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 144 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 57.77 with a standard deviation of 9.67, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.837). Observed skewness (-0.84) and kurtosis (1.95) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Normative Data Notice
A total of
144
participant responses were available for this assessment.
Dimension-level norms were calculated using
144
valid response records.
Approximately
0
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
