LDRs are qualitatively different from geographically close relationships; that is, relationships in which the partners are able to see each other, face-to-face, most days. According to Rohlfing (1995), he suggests the following unique challenges for those in long-distance relationships:


 * Increased financial burdens to maintain relationships
 * Difficulty maintaining geographically close friendships while in long-distance romantic relationships
 * Difficulty judging the state of a relationship from a distance
 * High expectations by partners for the quality of limited face-to-face meetings in the relationships

In 2005 a survey suggested that in the United States 14 to 15 million people were considered to be in a long-distance relationship. In 2015 closer to 14 million people considered themselves to be in a long-distance relationship. About 32.5% of college relationships are long-distance. The average amount of distance in a long-distance relationship is 125 miles. Couples in a long-distance relationship call each other every 2.7 days. On average couples in a long-distance relationships will visit each other 1.5 times a month. Also couples in long-distance relationships expect to live together around 14 months into the relationship. About 40% of couples in long-distance relationships break up; around 4.5 months into the relationship is the time when couples most commonly start having problems. Also 70% of couples in a long-distance relationship break up due to unplanned circumstances and events. About 75% of couples in long-distance relationships end up being engaged at some point in the relationship. Around 10% of couples still maintain a long-distance relationship after marriage. About 3.75 million married couples are in a long-distance relationship in the US alone.

The quality of the article was very good. I appreciated the highlights and heading of the section. I directly went to the sections that were most important to me. Several components made this article rank high on the quality scale. Most importantly this article was informative to individuals who are seeking a Long distance relationship. The author provided quality and reliable references with consistent data. However I would like to update the article on a recent survey or study that has been done on this topic. The study that was done was completely in 2005, which is almost 15 years ago. Even though the information is secondary, there should have been more relevant secondary sources. I ranked this article high on the quality scores because of the uniqueness, authorship, statistics, internal and external outbound links.

The terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include all of the psychological variables that are measurable in a human being.

The reference to imagined or implied others suggests that we are prone to social influence even when no other people are present, such as when watching television or following internalized cultural norms.

The study of attitudes is a core topic in social psychology.

Attitudes are involved in virtually every other area of the discipline, including conformity, interpersonal attraction, social perception, and prejudice.

Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and immediate, social situations.

In general, social psychologists have a preference for laboratory-based, empirical findings.

Their theories tend to be specific and focused, rather than global and general.
