Highly satisfying social relationships make us happy and healthy—they fill us with joy and a sense of meaning and purpose. But do all the relationships in our lives contribute equally to our well-being and do some people benefit more from certain relationships? The current study examined associations between the satisfaction of specific relationships within a family (i.e., with parents, siblings) and adjustment (i.e., life satisfaction and depressive symptoms) among 572 emerging adults aged 18–25 (M_age = 19.95, SD = 1.42; 77.4% female). Overall, relationship satisfaction with mothers and fathers was associated with better adjustment. Attachment anxiety and avoidance moderated associations between relationship-specific satisfaction and adjustment. We discuss the findings in the context of the shifting of attachment functions during emerging adulthood and the dynamic nature of close relationships across the lifespan.

高度令人满意的社会关系让我们快乐和健康——它们让我们充满快乐、意义和目的感。但是，我们生活中的所有关系是否都对我们的幸福有同样的贡献，有些人是否从某些关系中受益更多？目前的研究调查了 572 名 18-25 岁的新兴成年人中家庭（即与父母、兄弟姐妹）的特定关系的满意度与适应（即生活满意度和抑郁症状）之间的关联（M_年龄 = 19.95，标准差 = 1.42；77.4% 女性）。总的来说，与父母关系的满意度与更好的适应有关。依恋焦虑和回避调节关系特定满意度和适应之间的关联。我们讨论了成年后依恋功能转变的背景以及整个生命周期中亲密关系的动态性质的发现。
