Stark, Marcella D.; Kirk, Amy Manning; Bruhn, Rick
ADULTSPAN Journal, v11 n2 p112-122 Oct 2012
Differences between 116 graduate and undergraduate women, representing 4 generations (i.e., Baby Boomers, Transitionals, Generation Xers, and Millennials), were studied to categorize earliest awareness and definitions of commitment in relationships. More than 63% of participants in each generation viewed relationship commitment in terms of constraints rather than attractions. (Contains 3 tables.)
