It Takes Two to Make a Couple!

What was the goal of the study?

Adolescence is an important developmental period that brings many challenges. It is often the time when the first dating experiences occur. The project "It Takes Two to Make a Couple!" was interested in what both partners experience in their dating relationships. We wanted to understand what happens when couples disagree and how each partner can influences the other's behaviors and emotions.

Who participated in the study?

A total of 126 adolescent couples participated in this study. Both partners completed a 45-minute online questionnaire about their family experiences, romantic relationships, emotions, and opinions.
