Abstract

This study examined the link between perceived romantic relationship (RR) importance (relationship desire and dismissal) and emerging adults' romantic experiences, including relationship status, number of partnerships, and relationship durations. It also explored how individuation from parents contributes to the prediction of these experien ces. Participants (N = 464, 64.4% female, Mage = 22.59) reported on their romantic relationship importance, relationship experiences, and perceived connectedness and intrusiveness from parents. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that perceived RR importance significantly contributed to the prediction of romantic experiences beyond demographic factors. Additionally, paternal intrusiveness negatively predicted the duration of current and longest relationships. The findings suggest that RR importance and individuation, especially in relation to the father, play an important role in emerging adults' romantic experiences.

Secondary abstract:	Cilj studije bio je istražiti vezu između percipirane važnosti romantičnih veza (želja za vezom i odbacivanje veze) i romantičnih iskustava, uključujući status veze, broj dosadašnjih partnerskih veza i trajanje veza. Također, zanimalo nas je kako individuacija u odnosu sa svakim roditeljem pridonosi predikciji tih iskustava. Sudionici (N = 464, 64,4% žene, prosjek dobi = 22,59 godina) pružili su informacije o važnosti romantičnih veza, iskustvima u vezama te percipiranoj povezanosti s roditeljima i pretjeranom nadzoru roditelja. Hijerarhijska regresijska analiza pokazala je da je percipirana važnost romantičnih veza značajno objasnila varijancu u iskustvima s romantičnom vezom nakon kontrole demografskih varijabli, dok je očinski pretjerani nadzor značajno (negativno) pridonio trajanju trenutačnih i najdužih veza. Rezultati sugeriraju da važnost romantičnih veza kao i određeni aspekti individuacije, posebno u odnosu s ocem, značajno utječu na romantična iskustva mladih na prijelazu u odraslost.
