Abstract
The current study explored the association between self-reported relationship beliefs (i.e., destiny/growth) and participation in post-relationship contact and tracing (PRCT) behaviors following one’s most recent break-up and the moderating role of breakup initiator. Our results revealed that those endorsing destiny beliefs participated in more PRCT behaviors as did breakup non-initiators.
