Abstract:

Individuals in long-distance relationships (LDR) have many challenges in maintaining their relationships. Many admit that it is difficult to live to the point of questioning the certainty of the relationship. However, many have also succeeded in living long-distance relationships. In fact, although LDR couples rarely have direct contact, they also have the same level of romantic relationship satisfaction as those in geographically close relationships. This study aims to explore the description of romantic relationship satisfaction in individuals in long-distance relationships. The method used

Abstract:

As the prevalence of social media rises in our daily interactions in society, research regarding this topic has become increasingly important. With the emergence of social media accounts, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, the way in which people create and maintain relationships, especially romantic relationships, has been greatly affected. People now have access to millions of people all around the world who, in the past, may never have met. Studies have shown a negative impact on romantic relationships due to an increased usage of social media for various reasons, including jealousy.

Abstract:

Research has suggested that individuals lower in self-esteem restrain from fully valuing romantic relationships because of relatively low confidence in positive regard from their partners (i.e., positive reflected appraisals). MacDonald and Jessica (2006) provided evidence that in Indonesia, where family plays an important role in mate selection, low self-esteem also leads to doubts regarding family approval of the relationship that, in turn, places an additional constraint on fully valuing a romantic relationship.

Abstract:

Romantic relationships are central in adolescents' lives. They have the potential to affect development positively, but also place adolescents at risk for problems. Romantic experiences change substantially over the course of adolescence; the peer context plays a critical role as heterosexual adolescents initially interact with the other sex in a group context, then begin group dating, and finally have dyadic romantic relationships. Adolescents' expectations and experiences in romantic relationships are related to their relationships with their peers as well as their parents. Although research

Abstract:

Relational skills gained through forming committed romantic partnerships in emerging adulthood (ages 18–29) provide the foundation for sustained intimacy in later adult relationships. Commitment is a crucial relational factor affecting the quality and longevity of romantic relationships. This qualitative study examined the meaning, expectations, and formation of commitment in romantic relationships among 29 emerging adults using consensual qualitative research methodology. Four categories pertaining to commitment were identified: (a) meaning of commitment; (b) expectations of a committed roman

Abstract:

This study examined the link between perceived romantic relationship (RR) importance (relationship desire and dismissal) and emerging adults' romantic experiences, including relationship status, number of partnerships, and relationship durations. It also explored how individuation from parents contributes to the prediction of these experiences. Participants (N = 464, 64.4% female, Mage = 22.59) reported on their romantic relationship importance, relationship experiences, and perceived connectedness and intrusiveness from parents.

Abstract:

Attachment scholars have focused on attachment outcomes between children and their parents. However, there is a dearth of studies examining the association between attachment and later romantic relationships for those who have had a parent in a same-sex relationship during childhood. To address this gap, we used a sample from the New Family Structures Study. The sample for this study comprised 248 adults, of which, 175 participants reported their mother having had a same-sex romantic relationship and 73 participants reported their father having had a same-sex romantic relationship.

Abstract:

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions and negatively affects the functionality of individuals. OCD symptoms with romantic relationship content have been investigated in the literature for the last 10 years. OCD symptoms with romantic relationship content are divided into two types: relationship-centered and partner-focused. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the relationship between OCD symptoms with romantic relationship content and individual and relational variables.

The digitization of life turned out to be both necessary and salutary for maintaining the continuity of functioning of societies and individuals during the pandemic. Meetings with people were mostly held remotely, as were medical and legal consultations or shopping. And although tools for online communication were known before 2020, their heyday and widespread use fell on the years of the pandemic crisis. Today, digitization is largely associated with all spheres of human life, including those that relate to the creation of close interpersonal relationships. The aim of the article is to presen

The article examines the association of attachment styles from childhood to adulthood in a retrospective manner and their relationship with romantic relationships, focusing on gender differences and relationship satisfaction. The study involved 309 adults (170 women, 139 men) aged 18 to 74 in romantic relationships. The results suggest that individuals who retrospectively report certain attachment patterns with parents in childhood tend to report similar patterns in adult romantic relationships. Significant differences were found in attachment to mother and father, especially by gender. In wom

This paper explores the practical implications of attachment style in romantic relationships, grounded in attachment theory, which examines the emotional bonds formed between infants and their caregivers during early childhood. The study examines how attachment styles developed in infancy influence romantic relationships in adulthood, including their impact on mental models, attachment histories, and relationship stability. A literature review is conducted on a recent study that conceptualizes romantic love as an attachment process, analyzing the role of attachment styles in relationship disso

Abstract:

This study examined early adolescent romantic “churning,” defined here as having a large number of boyfriends/girlfriends by age 13, as a problematic marker likely to predict hostility, abuse, and avoidance during conflict in later relationships. A sample of 184 adolescents was followed through age 24 to assess predictions of hostility, abuse, and avoidance during conflict from early romantic churning. Controlling for gender and family income, romantic churning at age 13 predicted relative decreases in peer preference and relative increases in conflict and betrayal in close friendships from ag

Abstract:

The impact of romantic relationships during the adolescent period has received significantly less attention in the literature compared to the influence of romantic relationships during adulthood. Specifically, how these influences may differ between females and males. As such, the current study uses four waves of data from the Pathways to Desistance study to examine how elements of romantic relationships, including relationship quality, monitoring, and antisocial influence, affect adolescent delinquent behaviors by sex. Results indicated several important findings regarding the desistance effe
