It was hypothesized there will be no difference in the mental well-being of polyamory and monogamy couples. The study was conducted on a group of 60 individuals, with thirty participants who follow a polyamorous relationship and thirty participants who follow a monogamous relationship. The age group of the participants was from 20 years old and above. The tool that was used to administer the mental well-being of the group is the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. The data was collected and subjected to appropriate statistical techniques.
