Future directions
Based on the preliminary results obtained in our study, future research
should aim to explore the bidirectional hypothesis in larger samples.
Although it was assumed that the sample was composed of individuals with
different sexual orientations, most of the participants said they were
in heterosexual relationships. It would be interesting for future
studies to explore how the myths of romantic love affect LGB
individuals. Although recent studies have found that college students
reject the myths of romantic love, this is not the norm between younger
students. Consequently, it would be interesting to examine the age
differences in the understanding of romantic relationships and the
acceptance of the myths.
