  • Sexual Flourishing: An Expanded Vision of Sexual Quality

    Open Access•Nathan D Leonhardt, Dean Busby et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Marriage and the Family•2026•References: 36

    Objective Expand the vision of high‐quality sexuality with a measure of sexual flourishing. Background Research has consistently shown that the quality of a couple's sexual relationship is an important part of their overall relationship, as sexual interactions are a fundamental part of intimacy. Moving beyond a focus on sexual satisfaction to focus on sexual flourishing, a richer, more holistic concept that includes growth, belonging, meaning, an…

  • Artificial connections: Romantic relationship engagement with artificial intelligence in the United States

    Open Access•Brian J Willoughby, Carson R Dover et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2025•References: 44

    Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have begun to influence almost all aspects of life, including romantic relationships. Despite many companies and other entities now utilizing AI technology to produce products and media that may influence romantic relationship engagement and behavior, few studies to date have attempted to document or describe the ways that individuals engage with multiple AI technologies for romantic or se…

  • The Emerging Science of Virtue

    Open Access•Blaine J Fowers, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Perspectives on Psychological…•2021

    Numerous scholars have claimed that positive ethical traits such as virtues are important in human psychology and behavior. Psychologists have begun to test these claims. The scores of studies on virtue do not yet constitute a mature science of virtue because of unresolved theoretical and methods challenges. In this article, we addressed those challenges by clarifying how virtue research relates to prosocial behavior, positive psychology, and per…

  • Applying the developmental model of marital competence to sexual satisfaction: Associations between conflict resolution quality, forgiveness, attachment, and sexual satisfaction

    Open Access•David B Allsop, Chelom E Leavitt et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2021•Cited by: 4•References: 47

    Sexual satisfaction is a complex construct that is affected by many diverse factors. Without a comprehensive framework guiding their work, scholars and practitioners who work with married couples may inadvertently focus on a single factor affecting sexual satisfaction and subsequently limit the effectiveness of their research and practice. Through discussion and an empirical example, the current study explores how the developmental model of marit…

  • We want to be married on our own terms’: Non-university emerging adults’ marital beliefs and differences between men and women

    Nathan D Leonhardt, Brian J Willoughby et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Studies•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 12

    To understand how non-university emerging adults think about marriage and how these beliefs differ by gender, we used a diverse national quantitative sample (Study 1, n = 667) from the United States and qualitative data (Study 2, n = 63) from participants of diverse geographic locations, also from the United States. Women and men valued marriage as a want rather than a need and embraced soulmate beliefs. In both quantitative (MANCOVA analyses) an…

  • The Porn Gap: Differences in Men's and Women's Pornography Patterns in Couple Relationships

    Jason S Carroll, Dean Busby et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Couple & Relationship…•2017

    Perhaps the most notable finding of pornography research to date is the sizeable gender gap that exists between men and women when it comes to their personal use and acceptance of pornography. This disparity raises a number of questions about couple formation patterns and the relationship dynamics that arise between men and women related to pornography use. In this study, the authors used both a nationally representative weighted data set of indi…

    Brian J Willoughby, BreeAnne Madsen et al.•ARTICLE•Marriage & Family Review•2015•Cited by: 2•References: 37

    This study explored the potential uniqueness of staying over, or spending the night with a romantic partner, as a relationship status. Using a recent sample of 2,304 individuals in romantic relationships, we explored how staying over might be associated with demographic, intrapersonal, and relational characteristics. Results suggested that individuals in “stay-over relationships” were similar to those in dating relationships and that cohabiters, …

  • Same-Race and Interracial Asian-White Couples: Relational and Social Contexts and Relationship Outcomes

    Jerevie Malig Canlas, Richard B Miller et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Comparative Family…•2015•Cited by: 2

    Research suggests that interracial couples have lower relationship stability compared to their same-race counterparts, but there is evidence that interracial relationships involving Whites and Asians are an exception. This study compared the pathways to relationship stability among same-race and interracial Asian-White couples. Using MANCOVA, partner empathy, social approval, relationship satisfaction, and relationship stability for same-race and…

  • Associations between relational sexual behaviour, pornography use, and pornography acceptance among US college students

    Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2014

    Pornography use among emerging adults in the USA has increased in recent decades, as has the acceptance of such consumption. While previous research has linked pornography use to both positive and negative outcomes in emerging adult populations, few studies have investigated how attitudes toward pornography may alter these associations, or how examining pornography use together with other sexual behaviours may offer unique insights into the outco…

  • Sowing wild oats: Valuable experience or a field full of weeds

    Open Access•Dean Busby, Dean M Busby et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2013

    In this study, the association was explored between the number of sexual partners individuals had in their lifetimes and martial outcomes. The research objective was to test whether the number of sexual partners was associated with sexual quality, communication, relationship satisfaction, and relationship stability, while controlling for relationship length, education, race, income, age, and religiosity, using the two competing theories of sexual…

  • Physical attraction, attachment styles, and dating development

    Open Access•Franklin O Poulsen, Thomas B Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2013•Cited by: 11•References: 19

    We test theoretical arguments developed by Hazan and Diamond (2000) suggesting that attachment theory presents a more parsimonious theory of mate selection than Buss' sexual strategies theory. We hypothesized that physical attractiveness and indicators of attachment anxiety and avoidance would be related to mate choice variables (e.g., number of first dates, and the probability of entering into an exclusive relationship in a 32-week period). We u…

  • Differing Relationship Outcomes When Sex Happens Before, On, or After First Dates

    Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2012•Cited by: 7•References: 6

    While recent studies have suggested that the timing of sexual initiation within a couple's romantic relationship has important associations with later relationship success, few studies have examined how such timing is associated with relationship quality among unmarried couples. Using a sample of 10,932 individuals in unmarried, romantic relationships, we examined how four sexual-timing patterns (i.e., having sex prior to dating, initiating sex o…

    The present study examines how demographics, attitudes toward marriage, attitudes toward sexual activity, sexual behaviors, and dating experience are associated with three different attitudes toward cohabitation among never-married young adults. Results from a sample of 1,036 young adult college students suggest that the endorsement of cohabitation is strongly associated with permissive attitudes toward sex. Young adults who held positive attitud…

This study provides a descriptive overview of gender-neutral housing from 148 universities and documents central areas of debate in current policy discussions. Information regarding gender-neutral housing policies and practices at each of these campuses was collected. Results suggest that gender-neutral hous…

  • Differing Relationship Outcomes When Sex Happens Before, On, or After First Dates

    Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2012•Cited by: 7•References: 6

    While recent studies have suggested that the timing of sexual initiation within a couple's romantic relationship has important associations with later relationship success, few studies have examined how such timing is associated with relationship quality among unmarried couples. Using a sample of 10,932 individuals in unmarried, romantic relationships, we examined how four sexual-timing patterns (i.e., having sex prior to dating, initiating sex o…

  • Sooner or later? The marital horizons of parents and their emerging adult children

    Grounded in a marital horizon theory of emerging adulthood, this article presents a study that provides an evaluation of the differences between parents' and emerging adults' views about marriage. Using a sample of 536 emerging adults and their parents (446 mothers, 360 fathers) recruited from five college sites from across the United States, the study sought to identify parents' marital ideals for their children and to investigate how these atti…

    Open Access•Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2012•Cited by: 13•References: 46

    Utilizing a sample of 1365 never-married cohabiting couples, we developed a typology of premarital cohabitation. Latent class analysis was used to create a five-class model of cohabiting couples who were then compared to engaged and non-engaged non-cohabiting couples on measures of interpersonal dynamics and relational outcomes. Results suggested that being in different types of cohabiting relationships was associated with different risks and ben…

  • Correlates of Attitudes Toward Cohabitation: Looking at the Associations With Demographics, Relational Attitudes, and Dating Behavior

    Open Access•Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2012•Cited by: 5•References: 45

    The present study examines how demographics, attitudes toward marriage, attitudes toward sexual activity, sexual behaviors, and dating experience are associated with three different attitudes toward cohabitation among never-married young adults. Results from a sample of 1,036 young adult college students suggest that the endorsement of cohabitation is strongly associated with permissive attitudes toward sex. Young adults who held positive attitud…

  • When Are You Getting Married?' The Intergenerational Transmission of Attitudes Regarding Marital Timing and Marital Importance

    Open Access•Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Issues•2012•Cited by: 14•References: 35

    Using a sample of 335 young adults and their parents, this study investigated the intergenerational transmission of marital attitudes from parents to their children and how parental marital quality moderates that relationship. Results suggested that the marital attitudes of both mothers and fathers are related to the marital attitudes of their children. Parents' marital quality had little direct impact on the marital attitudes of their young adul…

    In this study, the association was explored between the number of sexual partners individuals had in their lifetimes and martial outcomes. The research objective was to test whether the number of sexual partners was associated with sexual quality, communication, relationship satisfaction, and relationship stability, while controlling for relationship length, education, race, income, age, and religiosity, using the two competing theories of sexual…

  • Physical attraction, attachment styles, and dating development

    Open Access•Franklin O Poulsen, Thomas B Holman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2013•Cited by: 11•References: 19

    We test theoretical arguments developed by Hazan and Diamond (2000) suggesting that attachment theory presents a more parsimonious theory of mate selection than Buss' sexual strategies theory. We hypothesized that physical attractiveness and indicators of attachment anxiety and avoidance would be related to mate choice variables (e.g., number of first dates, and the probability of entering into an exclusive relationship in a 32-week period). We u…

  • Associations between relational sexual behaviour, pornography use, and pornography acceptance among US college students

    Brian J Willoughby, Jason S Carroll et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Health & Sexuality•2014

    Pornography use among emerging adults in the USA has increased in recent decades, as has the acceptance of such consumption. While previous research has linked pornography use to both positive and negative outcomes in emerging adult populations, few studies have investigated how attitudes toward pornography may alter these associations, or how examining pornography use together with other sexual behaviours may offer unique insights into the outco…
