“…An abundance of research corroborates these tenets. Indeed, numerous studies have demonstrated that perceiving high quality attractive alternatives tends to decrease relationship commitment (Baker et al, 2020;Bui et al, 1996;Le & Agnew, 2001Rhoades et al, 2010;Rusbult, 1980Rusbult, , 1983Rusbult et al, 1998), which can erode the stability of the relationship (Rhoades et al, 2010). Furthermore, perceiving high quality alternatives, and subsequently experiencing low commitment, are robust predictors of infidelity (de Lenne et al, 2019;Drigotas et al, 1999;Martins et al, 2016;Mattingly et al, 2011), which is one of the strongest predictors of relationship dissolution (Amato & Previti, 2003).…”
