This study examined early adolescent romantic “churning,” defined here as having a large number of boyfriends/girlfriends by age 13, as a problematic marker likely to predict hostility, abuse, and avoidance during conflict in later relationships. A sample of 184 adolescents was followed through age 24 to assess predictions of hostility, abuse, and avoidance during conflict from early romantic churning. Controlling for gender and family income, romantic churning at age 13 predicted relative decreases in peer preference and relative increases in conflict and betrayal in close friendships from ages 13 to 16, as well as higher observable hostility and self- and partner-reported abuse in romantic relationships by age 18 and greater avoidance during conflict with romantic partners by age 24. Findings remained after accounting for attachment security, social competence, and friendship quality in early adolescence, suggesting that early romantic churning may uniquely predict a problematic developmental pathway.

Organizational View

Adopting an organizational view on social development, we have investigated how interpersonal experiences early in life predict how well individuals will resolve relationship conflicts, recover from conflicts, and have stable, satisfying relationships with their romantic partners in early adulthood. We have also identified specific interpersonal experiences during middle childhood and adolescence that mediate the connection between how individuals regulated their emotions with their parents very early in life and how they do so as young adults in their romantic relationships. We discuss the many advantages of adopting an organizational view on social development.

Antecedents And Consequences

AbstractThis study considers the developmental origins of alcohol use in young adulthood. Despite substantial evidence linking committed romantic relationships to less problematic alcohol use in adulthood, the uniformity of these protective benefits across different romantic relationships is unclear. Further, the extent to which the establishment and maintenance of these romantic relationships is preceded by earlier adolescence alcohol use remains unknown. To address these gaps in the literature, the current study utilized multitiple-dimensional, multiple-informant data spanning 20 years on 585 individuals in the Child Development Project. Findings from both variable- and person-centered analyses support a progression of associations predicting adolescent alcohol use (ages 15–16), drinking, and romantic relationships in early adulthood (ages 18–25), and then problematic young adult alcohol use (age 27). Although adolescent alcohol use predicted greater romantic involvement and turnover in early adulthood, romantic involvement, but not turnover, appeared to reduce the likelihood of later problematic drinking. These findings remained robust even after accounting for a wide array of selection and socialization factors. Moreover, characteristics of the individuals (e.g., gender) and of their romantic relationships (e.g., partner substance use problems and romantic relationship satisfaction) did not moderate these findings. Findings underscore the importance of using a developmental–relational perspective to consider the antecedents and consequences of alcohol use early in the life span.

The Relationship

In an 8-year prospective study conducted on 103 subjects, the developmental sequence of and the factors contributing to a bonded romantic outcome in young adulthood were investigated. The subjects’ self-concepts and their relationships with mothers, fathers, and same-sex friends were assessed at the ages of 13, 15, and 17 years. Having a romantic partner and the quality of relationships with romantic partners were assessed at ages 13, 15, 17, and 21 years. Evidence was found for a developmental sequence in romance with respect to differences in the quality and duration of romantic relationships over time. Factor analysis revealed that at age 21, bonded romantic love emerged as a romantic outcome. Two models of romantic relationship development, varying in complexity, were tested. The results revealed that support from parents, friends, and romantic partners as well as self-concept contributed differently to the prediction of bonded love at age 21. Regression analyses revealed that at age of 13, during the initiation phase, the self-concept contributed significantly to the prediction of bonded love in young adulthood. Similarly, during the affection phase, at age 17, the quality of the relationship with the romantic partner was predictive of bonded love in early adulthood. The results were less clear at age 15, during the status phase. In addition, it was found that the importance of the romantic partner as support provider increased as the relationship developed. Contrary to expectations, peer support was found to be important only during later stages of romantic development.

<p class="abstrak"><em>Abstract —</em><em> Dating is an exclusive relationship between an individual and his or her partner. This romantic relationship is of great importance for individuals in early adulthood. Furthermore, recent studies found that related problems in dating can decrease an individual's mental health. Therefore, individuals need high hope to effectively resolve conflicts and maintain the relationship well. While going through a romantic relationship, individuals can evaluate their relationships positively or negatively, termed as relationship quality. This study aims to examine whether hope correlates with relationship quality on 200 young adults who are currently in a dating romantic relationship. The present study is a quantitative study using The Hope Scale and The Perceived Relationship Quality Component as measuring instruments. The result shows that there is a significant relationship between hope and relationship quality. In other words, with higher hope, relationship quality will be higher, and vice versa. Other related findings are discussed.</em></p><p class="abstrakCxSpFirst">Abstrak — Pacaran merupakan hubungan eksklusif yang dijalani oleh individu dan pasangannya.

The Relationship

ABSTRACTObjective: to understand how the individuals have experienced a situation of trauma. Method: the type of study was inserted in the qualitative investigation in the extent of the descriptive phenomenology. The data collection was done by using a semi-structured interview. Results: after the analysis of the interviews three domains were noticed: Types of Trauma; Social/Emotional Experiences and Social/Relationship Experiences. In relation to the first domain in the category of trauma all the interviewed individuals had gone through a physical trauma. On the second domain three categories were pointed out: Background; Primary; and Secondary emotions, related to the feelings and emotions charted by Damásio, in which anxiety, despair, fear and guilt were the most evidenced. Concerning the last domain there are two categories related to the assistance and the relationship with the health care professional in the emergency service. Conclusion: the trauma is understood as an unexpected process, in which experiences cannot be known in their real dimensions. Becoming aware of the influence that the feelings and emotions play in the actions we take, and in the choices we make, lead us to think about how we live emotions, the importance we attach to them and the importance they have in the nursing care. Descriptors: events that change our lives; wounds and injuries; emotions. RESUMOObjetivo: compreender como os indivíduos vivenciaram a experiência de uma situação de trauma. Método: o tipo de estudo inseriu-se na investigação qualitativa no âmbito da fenomenologia descritiva. A recolha de dados foi efectuada recorrendo a entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: feita a análise das entrevistas emergiram três domínios: Tipo de trauma; Vivências sócio/emocionais e Vivencias sócio/relacionais. Relativamente ao primeiro domínio na categoria de trauma todos os entrevistados foram sujeitos a um trauma físico. No segundo domínio emergiram três categorias: Emoções de fundo; Primárias; e Secundárias relacionadas com os sentimentos e emoções cartografados por Damásio, em que os mais evidenciados foram a ansiedade, desespero, medo e culpa. No último domínio surgem duas categorias relacionadas com o atendimento e a relação com os profissionais no serviço de urgência. Conclusão: o trauma é percebido como um processo inesperado, cujas vivências não podem ser conhecidas na sua real dimensão. Tomar consciência da influência que os sentimentos e as emoções exercem nas ações que praticamos, e nas escolhas faz-nos pensar como vivemos as emoções, que importância lhe atribuímos e a importância que as mesmas assumem nos cuidados de enfermagem. Descritores: acontecimentos que mudam a vida; ferimentos e lesões; emoções. RESUMEN Objetivo: comprender cómo los individuos vivieron la experiencia de una situación de trauma.
