Popis: The effects of both personal variables and relationship variables on ideal-perception consistency and regulation in young adults’ romantic relationships were evaluated. 176 heterosexual individuals (88 men and 88 women) – ages 18 to 25 years—responded to self-report questionnaires that assessed their relationship ideals with regard to three dimensions: warmth-trustworthiness, vitality-attractiveness, and status-resources. Research models were tested for each dimension using structural equations modelling. Results showed that both personal and relationship variables had significant effects on ideal-perception consistency and regulation (desire and attempts), especially for two dimensions: warmth-trustworthiness and status-resources. Sex differences in the effects of personal and relationship variables on both ideal-perception consistency and regulation were found. The implications of these results for research on romantic relationship are discussed
