Suppose that Chris and David are both happily married, but that Chris tends to look at other women-attractive single women who are potential alternative prospects-when he is out on the town at bars and clubs. Does this mean that Chris's marriage is less likely to last than David's?
A) Yes-research suggests that the more time people spend looking at alternative prospects, the more likely it is that their relationship is doomed.
B) No-the degree to which people look at alternative prospects does not appear to be related to relationship success.
C) No-in fact, people who look at alternatives at least occasionally are MORE likely to have successful relationships than people who don't.
D) It depends on how Chris is evaluating other women; his marriage is only less likely to last than David's if he is consciously comparing the other women to his wife.
