Sexual assault (SA) is a serious issue affecting college students in romantic relationships. Having strong understandings of what constitutes healthy romantic relationships (HRR) can protect students by allowing them to better recognize SA and other problematic behaviors in relationships. However, little research has explored how students conceptualize HRR. Utilizing qualitative thematic analysis, this study analyzed data from individual and focus-group interviews from a sample of 45 students at a southwestern university in the United States. Findings indicated that students understood HRR to be characterized by direct communication, respect, and mutual satisfaction. However, their experiences showed that these ideals were not always achieved. This discrepancy may be explained by the influence of social norms, particularly around sexual behavior and gender role expectations. Implications and recommendations for social workers/counseling professionals are discussed.

健康的浪漫关系：大学生的态度和观念。

性侵犯（SA）是影响大学生恋爱关系的严重问题。对什么构成健康的浪漫关系 (HRR) 有深刻的理解可以通过让学生更好地识别 SA 和其他有问题的关系行为来保护学生。然而，很少有研究探讨学生如何概念化 HRR。本研究利用定性主题分析，分析了来自美国西南大学 45 名学生样本的个人和焦点小组访谈的数据。调查结果表明，学生理解 HRR 的特点是直接沟通、尊重和相互满意。然而，他们的经验表明，这些理想并非总能实现。这种差异可以用社会规范的影响来解释，特别是围绕性行为和性别角色期望。讨论了对社会工作者/咨询专业人员的影响和建议。
