- Abstract
Research has shown continuity between romantic relationships in emerging adulthood and past relationships experienced with parents and friends (Seiffge-Krenke et al., 2010). This study examines this association by applying the triangular model of love developed by Sternberg (1986, 1988, 2006), the three main dimensions being intimacy, passion and involvement. The sample is comprised of 131 young adults who completed self-reported measures about their relationship with their parents and their same-sex best friend at age 17 and with their romantic partner at age 19. Regression analyses show that romantic intimacy experienced at age 19 is predicted by the quality of the relationship with the mother and the father at age 17. However, romantic involvement is predicted by the quality of the relationship with the father only. These effects apply for girls only.
