    "title": "Expected Utility in Romantic Relationships: Satisfaction as a Cue for Romantic\nPartnership Dissolution",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The choice to enter and leave a romantic relationship can be\nframed as a decision-making problem based on expected\nutility of the partnership over time, akin to a forager deciding\nwhether to stay in a particular patch based on the amount of\nresources it provides. We examined the temporal trajectory of\nthree traits that may correspond to resources in romantic\nrelationships—trust, love, and satisfaction—to determine\nwhether they behave like depleting or replenishing patches\nfrom a foraging perspective. All three rise over time in intact\nrelationships—suggesting replenishment—but plateau or fall\nin dissolved relationships—suggesting depletion. Survival\nanalysis demonstrated that higher ratings of all three quality\nvariables decreased the risk of romantic dissolution. The\nresults suggest that these cues are lower in dissolved\nrelationships, indicating individuals could potentially use\nthem as cues for leaving an unsatisfactory relationship patch\nvia aspiration-level cognitive mechanisms.",
