Abstract
This study indicated that aspects of poor romantic competence were associated with cheating on one’s partner and risky sexual behaviors among emerging adult women, even when controlling for frequency of substance use. This suggests that increasing romantic competence may reduce unhealthy romantic and sexual behaviors among emerging adults.
