Abstract
In two studies, we investigated the effects of outcome knowledge on college students’ (N=181) and community adults’ (N=334) judgments of a romantically involved couple. Participants who were told the dating couple broke up judged the relationship more negatively than did participants who were told the couple stayed together.
