Answer 1

C- Satisfaction, alternatives and investments

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology studies, factors keeping couples together long term even when the benefits aren't as many were discovered as the investment model.

The three factors identified are:

1. Satisfaction: When levels of satisfaction are high and there are fewer arguments or distasteful occurrences in a relationship, couples tend to stay committed in a relationship.
2. Alternatives: When a couple weighs the odds of getting someone else to satisfy their needs and there is nobody but their partner capable of doing that, they stay committed in that relationship
3. Investments: Include resources like assets acquired together or money, children, efforts, connections, memories gotten over the course of the relationship that could be lost with ending the relationship.

Answer 2

:Answer:

C. Satisfaction, alternatives and investments.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the so called investment model, the three major factors that maintains commitment in a relationship are the level of satisfaction gotten, comparisons with other alternatives available and size or level of investments.

This was gotten from "The Investment Model of commitment process" by Caryl E. Rusbult. He also called it the three predictors of relationship commitment.
