When “we” defines “me”
Drawing on theories or conceptualizations of relational selves, relationally interdependent self-construal (RISC) and self-determination, we present theory and research on relationship identification – the degree to which a person defines themselves in terms of a specific close relationship and integrates that relationship into their sense of self. Identification predicts relationship maintenance efforts independent of relationally interdependent…
Say you’ll be there
Friendships are a primary source of social support during young adulthood; however, little is known about the factors associated with young adults feeling greater support during interactions with friends. We examined how micro-level verbal responses and macro-level judgments of friendship quality were associated with perceptions of support following an interaction between friends. Same-gender friend dyads ( N = 132; 66.2% female; 18–24 years, M a…
Through thick and thin
Despite the documented importance of friendship for the well‐being of young adults, there is a paucity of work mapping factors associated with friendship dissolution and maintenance during this developmental period. We examined whether implicit theories of friendships – specifically, growth beliefs (i.e., the belief that friendships can be developed) and destiny beliefs (i.e., the belief that friendships are either meant to work or not) — were as…
Initial Development of a Situation‐based Measure of Emerging Adults’ Social Competence in their Same‐gender Friendships
This paper describes the development of a situation-based tool to assess emerging adults' social competence with same-gender friends, providing information about (1) challenges occurring in these relationships, (2) the behaviors used to manage these situations, and (3) the perceived effectiveness of these strategies. Undergraduates (N = 747; 409 women; M age = 20.16, SD = 1.43) participated in five studies. Transgressions, conflicts of interest, …
Relationship dissolution in the friendships of emerging adults
Maintaining high-quality friendships is a key predictor of well-being during emerging adulthood, yet factors leading to friendship dissolution-defined here as actions that may decrease friendship quality or end the relationship completely-are poorly understood. Using an open-ended interview paradigm, we elicited 179 emerging adults' (55.9% female; Mage = 20.42, SD = 1.54; 95.0% full-time university students) description of their behavioral respon…
Determining our destiny
Groups experience collective autonomy restriction whenever they perceive that other groups attempt to limit the freedom of their group to determine and express its own identity. We argue that collective autonomy restriction motivates groups (both structurally advantaged and disadvantaged) to improve their power position within the social hierarchy. Four studies spanning real-world (Studies 1 and 2) and lab-based (Studies 3 and 4) intergroup conte…
The chains on all my people are the chains on me
370), correlational and cross-cultural evidence indicates that perceived restrictions to the collective autonomy of one's group is directly associated with reduced personal autonomy, and indirectly associated with diminished well-being through personal autonomy. In Study 2 (N = 411), a longitudinal assessment of group members over 3 time-points during a 4-month period found that group members who perceived greater collective autonomy restriction …
