Little research has been done that examines the correlation between the length of a romantic relationship and academic success. In the present study, a questionnaire addressing this issue was administered to 40 college students at Lindenwood University. Analysis of the questionnaire revealed no correlation between the length of a romantic relationship and participants’ actual GPAs. However, a moderately strong correlation between participants’ self-reported GPAs was found. This study implies that the length of one’s romantic relationship may be particularly related to perceived academic success.
