“…Sandow (2014) defined long-distance commuters as those who have to travel more than 30 km. In social-psychological studies, authors have often used the self-reported existence of a long-distance relationship (Billedo et al 2015;Pistole et al 2010;Guldner and Swensen 1995;Van Horn et al 1997).…”

Moving in or Breaking Up? The Role of Distance in the Development of Romantic Relationships

Most romantic relationships start with a living apart together (LAT) phase during which the partners live in two separate households. Over time, a couple might decide to move in together, to separate, or to remain together while maintaining their nonresidential status. This study investigates the competing risks that partners in a LAT relationship will experience the transition to coresidence or to separation. We consider the amount of time LAT partners have to travel to see each other to be a key determinant of relationship development. For our statistical analyses, we use seven waves of the German Family Panel Pairfam (2008/ 2009-2014/2015) and analyze couples in the age group 20-40 years. We distinguish between short-distance relationships (the partners have to travel less than one hour) and long-distance relationships (the partners have to travel one hour or more). Estimating a competing risks model, we find that couples in long-distance relationships are more likely to separate than those living in close proximity. By contrast, the probability of experiencing a transition to coresidence is lower for LAT couples in long-distance than for those in short-distance relationships. Interaction analyses reveal that distance seems to be irrelevant for the relationship development of couples with two nonemployed (unemployed, in education or other inactive) partners.

“…In addition to explicit relationship quality, two additional constructs were of interest to the present study: communication quality and relationship investment. Both of these may be considered somewhat distinct from relationship quality in the context of romantic relationships, in which high‐quality communication and deep commitment are not necessarily present even when couples are reportedly happy (Baxter & Bullis, ; Van Horn et al, ). All hypothesized effects for relationship quality noted above were expected for communication quality and relationship investment as well.…”

The present study employed late ERPs to examine differences in the association between neural responses to romantic partners and relationship quality factors across men and women. Participants passively viewed photos of their romantic partners, celebrities, and strangers during a computerized facial processing task. All participants demonstrated enhanced positivity to partner faces at late ERP components (P3 and LPP), furthering the notion that significant others elicit more motivated and sustained attention than do other familiar or unfamiliar individuals. Neural responses to romantic partner faces were influenced by factors including overall relationship quality, investment, and communication quality, with associations varying by gender. Results highlight the key role that relationship quality factors play in the immediate processing of romantic partners-a finding with implications for couples counseling and research.

“…According to the research result of Horn, Arnone, Nesbitt, Desllets, Sears, Giffin, & Brudi [4] about college student long-distance relationships (N=80) which is compared with those that were not long-distance (N=82) on nine variables that have been suggested as fundamentally important in intimate relationships. The long-distance relationships (LDRs) members is stated that they have less descriptive self-disclosure and companionship with their partners, affection, enhancement of worth, instrumental help, nurturance, and partner's perspective-taking.…”

This research is purposed to examine between emotional maturity and couples-social adjustment on commercial aircraft crew (pilots and flight attendants) with their partners. This research involved 90 respondents (45 couples) with ages ranging from 18 to 62 years old. We use a quantitative method with 100 participants and in this paper, we found 10 same couples working far apart from their partners. Data collection using emotional maturity scale and couples social adjustment scale. The results of the study showed that emotional maturity and couples social adjustment had a very significant positive relationship (Pearson correlation value was .319 with a significance value of .002 (p <.01)). Implications for working time arrangements for pilots and flight attendants are discussed.
