Long-Distance Romantic Relationships: Prevalence and Separation-Related Symptoms in College Students.

Guldner, Gregory T.

Journal of College Student Development, v37 n3 p289-96 May-Jun 1996

College students in long-distance romantic relationships (LDRs; n=164) were compared to 170 students in geographically proximal relationships (PRs) on measures of psychological distress. Those in LDRs reported significantly more symptoms of depression. Also, a prevalence estimate was obtained, and it supported previous research suggesting that 25% of college students maintain LDRs.
