- Abstract
This study utilized two expanded scales of the Relationship Beliefs Inventory to evaluate the link between intrapersonal cognitive discrepancies and relationship satisfaction. Participants were 63 undergraduate students at a private university who were involved in exclusive romantic relationships. Participants completed measures of relationship cognitions (assumptions, standards, and perceptions) regarding disagreement and mindreading in romantic relationships, as well as a measure of their satisfaction with their current relationships. The results provide support for the hypothesis that large intrapersonal cognitive discrepancies are negatively related to relationship satisfaction.
