Preferred term

ideals about relationships  

Definition

  • How do people know whether they are in a good or a bad romantic relationship? How do people decide whether to go on a date, live together, get married, or look for another mate? One answer to such questions is that individuals' judgments about a particular person or relationship are based on the consistency between ideal standards, on the one hand, and perceptions of the current partner or relationship, on the other hand. This entry describes findings and research that suggest that, from the beginning to the end of romantic relationships, ideal standards play a crucial role.
