Abstract

A study conducted by Guizhou Normal University in Guiyang, People's Republic of China, explores the relationship between love addiction and the perceived acceptability of gaslighting in romantic relationships. The research, which involved surveys administered to university students in Southwestern China, found that love addiction indirectly influenced the acceptability of gaslighting through the mediating roles of sense of giving and relationship power. The study highlights the importance of understanding the effects of love addiction on perceptions of gaslighting and suggests potential interventions to mitigate gaslighting behaviors.
