    This was an ambitious study! I’m impressed that some of your findings matched what you predicted or the previous literature. You noted a couple of times that your sample was “too nice.” Do you think that this was a function of some bias that was introduced as a function of your recruiting?

    I’m wondering why you included these three IVs, specifically, in this study. You cite literature for all of them separately, but I guess I’m wondering what the advantage is of putting them all in the same analysis. Similarly, why did you separate aggression out into feelings and behaviors? Was there research to suggest they would relate to the IVs differently?

    Very interesting work. Do you think that the results would be different in a pool of people who prefer online dating compared to those who had no choice (like during a pandemic)? Is online dating self-selecting or does everyone do it nowadays?

    The project was interesting and I like the way the group broke down their research.

    I found it interesting that the results showed that rejection sensitivity was not a significant factor in aggression. I would have thought that rejection sensitivity would have led to an increase in aggression if that rejection were to happen.

    I like how you dove into the less romanticized parts of relationships and what causes them to fall apart. Emotional and behavioral anger are two very different things and seeing that you took those different responses into your research was appreciated.
