Abstract

Abstract Best friendships and romantic relationships are linked to psychological well-being in emerging adulthood, but few studies have assessed their contribution simultaneously. This research (n = 190; 64.4% women) examined the links between intimacy and conflict with the best friend and the romantic partner on psychological well-being (self-esteem, depression, loneliness). Results showed that both relationships were independently linked to well-being, while also interacting with one another. Among participants reporting a less intimate or conflictual romantic relationship, an intimate best friendship was linked to higher self-esteem. Moreover, a conflictual best friendship was related to higher depressive symptoms only among those having a conflictual romantic relationship. Thus, best friendships and romantic relationships show distinct and combined contributions to well-being in emerging adulthood.

最佳友谊、浪漫关系和成年后心理健康之间的联系

最好的友谊和浪漫关系与成年初期的心理健康有关，但很少有研究同时评估它们的作用。本研究(n = 190;(64.4%的女性)研究了与最好的朋友和恋人的亲密关系和冲突对心理健康(自尊、抑郁、孤独)的影响。结果表明，这两种关系都与幸福感独立相关，同时也相互作用。在报告不那么亲密或冲突的浪漫关系的参与者中，亲密的最好的友谊与更高的自尊有关。此外，矛盾的最好的友谊只与那些有矛盾的恋爱关系的人有更高的抑郁症状有关。因此，最好的友谊和浪漫的关系对成年初期的幸福表现出不同的和共同的贡献。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
