Topic > The effects of a romantic relationship on academia…

Romantic relationships are constantly evolving over the years, as college students tend to have different perspectives on the topic and share different values ​​about its importance in their screw. An observation was made about college women in the late 1970s and early 1980s correlating with romantic relationships. Studies have found that peer culture established an ethic for women that emphasized romantic relationships with men as a major avenue to self-esteem and prestige (Gilmartin, 2005). As studies show, having romantic relationships has been of high value and priority since the late 1970s and early 1980s for women. Being perceived as (straight) sexually attractive and having a “high-status boyfriend” elevated a young woman's standing among her classmates, meaning that schoolwork and friendship were put aside (Gilmartin, 2005 ). This statement alone gives rise to the need to conduct a study on this issue as this article demonstrates that there may indeed be a correlation between being in a relationship and academic performance. Because women worry less about workload, they are at a disadvantage because they have the opportunity to develop the knowledge necessary to propel them to their optimal professional advancement (Gilmartin, 2005). Previous findings have indicated that single men and women experience higher levels of mental instability, such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment problems, and other forms of psychological distress (Braithwaite, S.R., Delevi, R., & Fincham, F.D. , 2010 ).Research shows that there are various factors that can add stress to a relationship.
