Behavioral Affective Expressions Among College Students in Romantic Relationship
Abstract
This research aims at examining (1) how behavioral affective expressions change over time, (2) how those expressions are related to romantic love, relational trustworthiness and satisfaction, and personality, and (3) if there are gender differences in those variables concerned. For those purposes, data are collected from 333 undergraduates who have experienced at least one time romantic relationship. Results indicated that behavioral affective expressions did not change over time and yet three components of the triangular theory of love and relational satisfaction had positive correlations with the period of romantic relations. Also, behavioral affective expressions had positive correlations with the three components of love, relational trustworthiness and satisfaction, and extroversion of personality traits. Finally, there were gender differences in some of affective expressions and personality traits. Those findings were discussed in terms of developmental characteristics of participants and theories and empirical findings of relational changes and stabilities.
