This type of recruitment procedure, while able to increase the sample's diversity in some important ways (specifically, there were more males and more same sex relationships reported on in this study than in many relationship surveys), also limits the overall
generalizability of our results and only paints a one - sided picture of a phenomenon that is inherently dyadic.

the generalizability of the results.
As is common with randomized controlled trials, the homogenous nature of the sample (e.g., age, ethnicity, income) limits
