  Given negative effects of cohabitation, we examine negative (ambivalence, conflict) and positive (commitment, satisfaction) relationship quality, as explained by perceptions of ease of relational sacrifices and spirituality, for unmarried cohabitors expecting their first child (46 individuals). Controlling for race=ethnicity and education, perceived ease of relational sacrifice was associated with greater satisfaction and lower ambivalence and conflict, whereas spirituality was not associated with any of the relationship quality variables. Examined together, greater ease of relational sacrifice and higher spirituality were associated with greater commitment and satisfaction and lower ambivalence and conflict. Given that many studies of cohabitation focus on demographic factors and that many studies of spirituality focus on married couples, the current study expands knowledge regarding relationship quality for nontraditional couples. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

  This assessment tool seeks to collect and analyze data from first-year/first-gen students enrolled in UNIV 101. Following the UNIV Program assessment plan, it is focused on the assessment of the UNIV 101 Course Learning Outcome 5 - Reflect on the interrelatedness of your general education, academic major(s) and minor(s), academic behaviors, and general well-being. It will be trained during Spring 2024 on UNIV 101 courses led by FT faculty members and review over the summer to be finally carried out in Fall 2024.
