Emerging Adults Experiences with Frustration in Dating

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between frustration and dating experiences to develop a scale for measuring dating related frustration. To do this, we must also understand other emotions such as loneliness and rejection. By addressing this gap, the research provides information that may improve dating experiences. The study used a self-report survey consisted of questions. Data was collected at two points assessing how experiences changed over time. Necessary research tasks included study advertisement and participant recruitment. Preliminary results are expected to reveal relationships between frustration in dating and feelings of loneliness. This information will help develop a frustration scale and provide data for future research.
