Evaluation Studies
Existence of the resurrection stage was supported by Tashiro and Frazier’s (2003) study; participants (undergraduates who had recently experienced a break-up) reported experiencing personal growth as a result of it, as well as emotional distress.
There is also research to indicate the importance of the grave-dressing stage, as the dissolution of a relationship is a very stressful event, and many people experience anxiety and depression while going through it. However, Tashiro and Frazier (2003) found that if ex-partners viewed the situation, rather than their own faults, as being responsible for the break-up, they often saw the ending of relationships in a more positive light.
Rollie & Duck

Dickson, 1995
Social phase affected by individual differences
Teenage relationships less serious and very little effort to reconcile however older couples is more distressing and friends close to the couple will work harder to try and reconcile
