Abstract

As romantic relationships begin and evolve, it is sometimes the case that partners are discrepant in their attraction to, love for, and commitment to each other. Data were collected from 460 undergraduates who completed a 40 item Internet survey on the various types of discrepancies and outcomes for their respective relationships. Results revealed that half of participants had been in a discrepant relationship in which they were more attracted to, in love with, and committed to their partner and half were less attracted, in love and committed than a partner in a current or past relationship. Men were significantly more likely than women to report that they had been in a discrepant relationship in which they were more in love with their partner. Being more attracted and less attracted, in love with, and committed was positively associated with infidelity. Depression was positively associated with being more or less attracted to, in love with and committed. Alcohol/drug use was positively associated with being more attracted and in love with a partner, as well as being less attracted and committed to a partner. Of discrepant relationships that ended, 45% were by the respondent, 20% mutually, and 11% by the partner. Of discrepant relationships that continued, 44% of the respondents reported that the discrepancies did not matter and that the respondents were happy despite the discrepancies.

“我以为你也爱我呢?”:恋爱关系中差异参与的结果

随着浪漫关系的开始和发展，有时伴侣在彼此的吸引力、爱和承诺方面存在差异。研究人员收集了460名大学生的数据，他们完成了一项40项的网络调查，调查内容是关于他们各自关系中各种类型的差异和结果。结果显示，一半的参与者在一段不一致的关系中，他们对自己的伴侣更有吸引力、更爱、更忠诚，而另一半则比现在或过去的关系中的伴侣更没有吸引力、更爱、更忠诚。男性比女性更有可能报告说他们曾经有过一段不和谐的关系，在这种关系中，他们更爱自己的伴侣。被吸引或不被吸引、被爱和被承诺与不忠呈正相关。抑郁与被或多或少地吸引、爱上和承诺呈正相关。酒精/药物的使用与更容易被伴侣吸引和爱上，以及更不容易被伴侣吸引和承诺呈正相关。在不一致的关系中，45%是被调查者，20%是双方，11%是伴侣。对于持续存在的差异关系，44%的受访者表示差异并不重要，尽管存在差异，受访者还是很开心。
