The dataset originates from a two-stage experimental study examining the effects of narrative framing of oneâs past romantic relationship on thinking about the past relationship and future in close relationships.
Participants were women aged 18â30 after a breakup (N = 422), randomly assigned to the narrative set (writing a self-story of broken love) or the control set (answering open questions about the past relationship).
Stage 1 included the pretest and experimental manipulation; Stage 2 (after approximately one week) involved follow-up self-reports (including declared breakup understanding) and open-ended responses describing breakup reasons and thoughts on the future in close relationships.
The dataset includes demographic, relationship, and experimental variables; qualitative evaluations of open-ended responses (participation quality, plot structuring of self-stories, coherence of breakup reasons descriptions, and content of thoughts on the future in close relationships); self-report psychological measures (Frequency of thoughts: counterfactual and future-oriented, Event-Related Rumination Inventory, and Declared Understanding of Breakup Reasons); and linguistic indices from computational analyses using LIWC and LEM tools for participantsâ open responses to tasks from Stage 2.
The collection includes publicly available files (Dataset.sav, trained coders instructions â Supporting Information S1âS5) and restricted-access files (participantsâ open-ended responses available upon request). Access to the open-ended responses is restricted to justified academic requests and may be granted only for research purposes, under confidentiality and data protection conditions.
