Abstract
This study examined whether high preference for romantic movie genres was related to relationship satisfaction, romantic idealism, and relationship history (the number of self-reported previous serious relationships, as well as length of those relationships). A total of 185 undergraduate students enrolled in psychology courses participated in this study. For the purposes of this study, data only from females (n =146) was used to interpret results due to the small number of data gathered from male participants (n = 37).
