Assessing Obsession with Romantic Partner
The sole predictor used in the analyses was preoccupation
with the romantic partner. We utilized a single-item
questionnaire that assesses daily preoccupation with the
partner. As part of the debriefing questionnaire, all participants
were asked the question, “What percentage of the
day is your partner on your mind?” and were prompted to
respond with a percentage score from 0 to 100. Partner
preoccupation was defined as the amount of time participants
spent thinking about their romantic partner during
an average day.
