Abstract

It is surprising how little we know about the relationships that matter to emerging adults, and we propose research to bridge that gap. First, we will ask emerging adults to generate a list of the individuals who matter. The list will be submitted via open-ended text that we will code for relationship type. Our first aim is to gain information about the frequency and diversity of relationships that matter to emerging adults. We hypothesise that participants who list more relationships will have better well-being and less loneliness. Second, we will use an adapted version of the Mattering Scale to assess how much specific relationships matter to participants by asking them to focus on five common close relationships (i.e., mother figures, father figures, romantic partners, best friends and closest-in-age sibling). For each relationship that exists for the participant, how much each relationship matters will be measured. We hypothesise that failing to mention a specific relationship in the open-ended portion of the study will be related to lower perceived mattering of that relationship when participants report on mattering. Finally, we hypothesise that when specified relationships matter more to an individual, they will have less loneliness and better well-being.

他们是最棒的:他人对新成人和幸福的意义
令人惊讶的是,我们对新兴成人所重视的人际关系知之甚少,因此我们建议开展研究来弥补这一差距。首先,我们将要求新成人列出一份重要人物的名单。这份名单将通过开放式文本提交,我们将根据关系类型对其进行编码。我们的第一个目标是获得有关对新兴成人来说重要的关系的频率和多样性的信息。我们的假设是,列出更多关系的参与者将拥有更好的幸福感和更少的孤独感。其次,我们将使用经过改编的 "关系紧张量表"(Mattering Scale)来评估特定关系对参与者的重要程度,要求他们关注五种常见的亲密关系(即母亲形象、父亲形象、恋爱伴侣、最好的朋友和最亲密的同龄兄弟姐妹)。对于参与者存在的每种关系,我们都将衡量每种关系的重要程度。我们假设,在研究的开放式部分,如果参与者没有提及某种特定的关系,那么当参与者报告这种关系的重要性时,就会认为这种关系的重要性较低。最后,我们假设,当特定关系对个人更重要时,他们的孤独感会更少,幸福感会更高。
