| Abstract: | When individuals experience disapproval of their romantic relationship from friends or family members, how do they determine whether they should trust or believe that negative opinion? In this study, we examined a hypothesised model in which level of perceived relationship expertise, level of perceived bias, quality of evidence provided, and level of perceived approval for the romantic relationship from the broader social network predicted levels of trust/distrust in a disapproving opinion. Using hierarchical multiple regression, we found support for the hypothesised model in an online study (N = 173). Contrary to expectations, no differences in the model were found by relationship type (marginalised vs. non-marginalised). Implications and theoretical explanations for the findings are discussed.
