Spanish term or phrase: situación sentimental
This is from a study on sexual assertivenss in students. "Situación sentimental" seems an unusual term for a scientific paper, which is possibly why I can't find a good term (or perhaps it's because it's Sunday morning and I'm working). At the moment I have "relationship status" but it sounds too much like Facebook.

Respecto a su situación sentimental actual, el 37,5% afirmaron tener pareja estable y mantener relaciones sexuales con ella, el 1,9% tenía pareja estable con la que no mantenía relaciones sexuales y el 45,0% no tenía pareja estable. Al consultar sobre su situación sentimental anterior el 32,9% afirmó haber tenido pareja estable con la que mantenían relaciones sexuales, el 6,5% había tenido pareja estable sin mantener relaciones sexuales y el 42,4% nunca había tenido pareja estable en el pasado.

Objective: We examined the associations between romantic relationship status and alcohol use and problems in a large sample of first-year college students. Method: Participants (n = 2,056) came from a longitudinal study of college students who answered questions about relationship status (single, in an exclusive relationship, or dating several people), alcohol use, and alcohol problems at two time points across their first year.

Investigating interpersonal attachment as a function of romantic status

by Willis, Jarryd Thomas, M.S., THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO, 2011, 72 pages; 1492140

Abstract:

Attachment Theory research has recently called for the assessment of adult attachment representations across familial, friendship, and romantic relationship domains and the overlaps in these relationships that may lead to overlaps in attachment patterns (Sibley & Overall, 2008). To that purpose, I assessed the within-group correlations and differences across the romantic partner, cross-sex, and same-sex friend relationships of two hundred and forty-two participants as a function of their romantic status. I found that the presence or absence of a romantic partner was related to differential attachments across relationships.

Thanks, Judith.
Notes to answerer
Asker: I'll go with this, then, which is what I had. I don't like "romantic" for the same reason I didn't like "sentimental" in the source text.

current relationship status


Explanation:
situación sentimental actual = current relationship status

this is all over social media and means just what you thought it meant originally, it comes DIRECTLY from Facebook:

Cómo cambiar tu situación sentimental en Facebook móvil

study or not, this is exactly from Facebook and means just what you thought it meant

Seeing as it's a study on students, that may be exactly why they're using this term
