The purpose of the present study was to examine the practice in close relationships research of using generic labels in surveys to refer to the relationships in a participant's life. Generic labels were expected to be associated with former romantic partners, whereas names were expected to be unique to the romantic partner. It was hypothesized that by using the partner's name (as opposed to a generic label, e.g., "partner") in a survey, responses would be less variable and more stable over time. At two time points, 184 participants currently in a "committed romantic relationship" (median age=22 years, median length of relationship=3.21 years) were administered either standard measures of relationship attitudes (e.g., relationship satisfaction, attributions) or ones in which all references to the romantic partner were replaced by the partner's name. Additionally, in order to increase the likelihood that relationship labels would activate information extraneous to their current relationship, at Time 2 half of the participants were also primed with their most recent former romantic partner. Few differences were found, and these few differences did not reveal a consistent pattern either congruent with or contrary to expectations. It was concluded that future attempts to examine this issue should (1) concentrate on younger relationships and (2) shift levels of measurement from attitude questionnaires to reaction time studies of memory retrieval processes.
