“…For example, Lehmiller () measured tangible and intangible investments separately and found that, although intangible investments predicted commitment for both gay and heterosexual men, tangible investments were not a significant predictor for gay men (which the authors suggested may be due to differences in legal factors between these two kinds of relationship). Alternatively, there may be additional factors that play a role in nonheterosexual relationships that are not currently accounted for in the model, such as minority stressors (Greene & Britton, ). Future research should further investigate the potential similarities and differences between heterosexual and nonheterosexual relationships.…”

This article provides a systematic review and updated meta‐analysis of the extant literature on Rusbult's Investment Model of Commitment. This meta‐analysis aimed to determine the strength of the associations between commitment and its antecedents and to investigate potential moderators of these associations. This meta‐analysis included 50,427 participants from 202 independent samples (collected between 1980 and early 2016) that had examined the intercorrelations between satisfaction, investment size, quality of alternatives, and commitment. Across all studies, satisfaction had the largest aggregate association with commitment (r = 0.65), followed by investments (r = 0.53) and quality of alternatives (r = −0.43). Several significant moderators of the relationships between the antecedents and commitment were also identified. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

“…The IM has already been extended to same-sex relationships (Beals, Impett, & Peplau, 2002;Greene & Britton, 2015;Lehmiller, 2010;Lehmiller & Agnew, 2006). Indeed, Kurdek (2008) found the expected pattern of correlations between all IM indicators with samples of…”

“…Further, internalized homophobia is negatively associated with relationship satisfaction (Frost & Meyer, 2009;Mohr & Daly, 2008), perception longevity (Rostosky, Riggle, Gray, & Hatton, 2007), secure attachment (Elizur & Mintzer, 2003;Sherry, 2007) and high sexual anxiety, concern about sexual image, and sex problems (Dupras, 1994;Frost & Meyer, 2009). It seems that internalized homophobia influence same-sex romantic relationships in a variety of ways (see Lewis, Kholodkov, & Derlega, 2012;Szymanski, Kashubeck-West, & Meyer, 2008) and is a risk factor for maintaining healthy intimate relationships (Frost & Meyer, 2009;Greene & Britton, 2015;Otis, Rostosky, Riggle, & Hamrin, 2006).…”

The purpose of the present study was twofold: (1) to investigate the effects of sexual orientation (heterosexuals and gay men/lesbians) and gender difference on responses to romantic relationship problems (Exit, Voice, Loyalty, and Neglect [EVLN] responses) and of perceived partner's EVLN responses in Turkey, and (2) to examine whether internalized homophobia was associated with EVLN responses and perceived partner's EVLN responses for gay men and lesbians. Responses to Dissatisfaction Scale-Accommodation Instrument, Internalized Homophobia, and Demographics Information were administered to 187 participants (44 lesbians, 44 gay men, 53 heterosexual women, 46 heterosexual men).The MANCOVA results showed that men reported higher loyalty than women, whereas women presented more exit responses than men. Further, the interactions between gender and sexual orientation on the participants' EVLN responses and on the perceived partner's EVLN responses were significant. With respect to heterosexual women, heterosexual men displayed more loyalty responses. Lesbians had higher scores on loyalty than did heterosexual women. Lesbians also had higher scores on perceived partner's exit response than did heterosexual women and gay men. On the contrary, heterosexual women reported more perceived partner's voice response than lesbians. In addition, lesbians reported higher perceived partner's neglect responses than heterosexual women. Compared to heterosexual women, heterosexual men reported higher perceived partner's exit response. Finally, internalized homophobia was associated with destructive responses for both lesbians and gay men.
