Abstract

The current study examined communication with former romantic partners and the implications of communication for one’s current relationship satisfaction. Undergraduates in committed relationships who still communicated with a former partner completed 21 daily diary records. Lower satisfaction predicted higher likelihood of communication, especially for those higher in relationship-contingent self-esteem.
