This study extended previous research on the importance of sociosexual orientation in romantic relationships through the examination of lesbian dyads. One-hundred and forty-four women (72 couples) completed an assessment of sociosexuality and relationship commitment. Using actor-partner interdependence models, it was found that high levels of relationship commitment were reported by participants with low levels of sociosexuality. Further, women with low levels of sociosexuality tended to experience particularly high levels of relationship commitment when their partner was similar to them in terms of SO but were much more likely to report low levels of commitment when they had a partner who possessed high levels of sociosexuality.
