Guided by the Development of Early Adult Romantic Relationships (DEARR) model (Bryant & Conger, 2002). The current study explores the direct and indirect associations between family of origin functioning and relationship success among Mainland Chinese young adults in romantic relationships ( N = 224). Results from the structural equation model analysis indicated that family dysfunction is negatively related to romantic relationship success directly, and the bootstrap test of indirect effects revealed two significant indirect pathways: (1) family dysfunction to problem solving to relationship success and (2) family dysfunction to depression symptoms to problem solving to relationship success. This model proved a better fit to the data than two plausible alternative models and highlights the potential cross-cultural applicability of the DEARR model. Implications for theory development, intervention, and future research are discussed
