question 77

Multiple Choice

Suppose that Neo and Tidi are both happily married, but that Chris tends to look at other women - attractive single women who are potential alternative prospects - when he is out on the town at bars and clubs.Does this mean that Neo's marriage is less likely to last than Tidi's?

• A)Yes - research suggests that the more time people spend looking at alternative prospects, the more likely it is that their relationship is doomed.
• B)No - the degree to which people look at alternative prospects does not appear to be related to relationship success.
• C)No - in fact, people who look at alternatives at least occasionally are MORE likely to have successful relationships than people who don't.
• D)It depends on how Neo is evaluating other women; his marriage is only less likely to last than Tidi's if he is consciously comparing the other women to his wife.
