Definition
- Risk in relationships can be considered in two distinct ways. From a psychological perspective, risk can be defined as a way of thinking about relationships (a cognitive schema) where choices to form and maintain intimate relationships are thought to involve unusually high levels of psychological/emotional investment combined with high uncertainty about outcomes and accompanied by a heightened anxiety about forming and maintaining relationships.
