- Title
The Aftermath of Romantic Betrayal: What's Love Got to Do with It?
- Authors
Couch, Laurie; Baughman, Kiersten; Derow, Melissa
- Abstract
Approaches to love were explored to determine links to psychological experiences after romantic betrayal. Results indicated that the mania (obsessive) love style predicted post-betrayal trauma reactions, depression, and psychosomatic symptoms, whereas other styles were unrelated to these post-betrayal reactions. Weaker effects also were observed in which the mania style was related to post-betrayal anxiety and embarrassment, as well as low levels of psychological resolution for the betrayal across time among those who were no longer involved with their betrayers.
