Obstacles and promoting factors of Social Love

This contribution concerns the multivariate analysis of the second-wave results of the World Love Index. The initial step is to collect a range of contextual data from various sources about the countries involved in implementing the World Love Index. These data are used to explore the factors that promote and hinder the two indices – Citizens’ and Institutions’ – of social love through the construction of multiple regression models. This chapter examines whether elements related to national contexts facilitate or hinder the spread of social love among citizens and institutions. Finally, the authors focus on aspects that can represent promoting or hindering social love factors and be integrated into a more generative approach.
