Text of Note

Premarital cohabitation has received an increasing amount of attention in the literature since the late 20th century. With limited literature addressing how these couples compare to those of married couples in regards to satisfaction, commitment, and resiliency. This study investigates both selection and experience variables associated with the cohabitation effect. Specifically, this study compares the effect of different dispositions different dispositions to forgive (trait forgiveness), relationship status (married or cohabiting), relationship commitment, and relationship satisfaction on the ability to demonstrate emotional forgiveness (dependent variable) following a relationship transgression. It was hypothesized that cohabitating individuals who display a lower commitment (ACRs) and satisfaction, as well as a minimal disposition of trait forgiveness will demonstrate lower abilities to engage in emotional forgiveness. A multiple regression supported the hypothesis and found that the combination of the predictors significantly impacts emotional forgiveness. Future research should consider limitations in self-report measures and continue to explore selection variables associated with cohabitation.
