“…For example, those who experience a parental divorce were found to progress into dating much earlier than those from intact families, in particular when the divorce occurred in early adolescence (Ivanova et al, ). Using the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing data set, Goldberg, Tienda, Eilers, and McLanahan (; https://fragilefamilies.princeton.edu/) found that adolescents' relationship experiences tended to mirror what they observed. For example, exposure to mothers' relationship instability in childhood was associated with adolescents' greater relationship instability.…”

The formation and development of romantic relationships continues to be an important area of study among adolescent and young adult populations. Although many adolescents and young adults report having committed romantic relationship experiences, which may or may not include sexual activity, research has grown during the past decade to study a variety of sexual experiences and relationship types. Consistent with identity formation and exploration and the opportunity for experimentation, adolescents and young adults also engage in a variety of casual sexual relationships and experiences. The past decade saw a dramatic growth in the study of casual sex and in particular hooking‐up experiences. Furthermore, scholars have begun to examine more fully young adults' attitudes toward and willingness to engage in consensually nonmonogamous relationships; however, little research has examined actual involvement in consensually nonmonogamous relationships among those in young adulthood. As with previous decade reviews, ongoing attention regarding how adolescent experiences serve to inform relationships and sex during the period of young adulthood is warranted. Directions for future research are identified and discussed.

“…In it, the adolescents apprehend dynamics from observing their mothers, leading to the intergenerational continuity of healthy or violent relationships. This theory postulates the repetition of behavior patterns that the adolescents observed in their parents’ relationships ( 26 ) . Looking at the families of these adolescents can contribute to the advancement of this knowledge and to the understanding of how gender differences are built in the family dynamics.…”

Objective: to know and analyze the perceptions of adolescents with high social vulnerability regarding the establishment of dating violence. Method: a qualitative research study carried out with 19 adolescents from a central municipality São Paulo, Brazil. Data collection took place by means of focus groups and field diaries, with the data being analyzed thematically. Results: two categories emerged: “A new female posture in a context of traditional gender norms” and “Violence in intimate relationships: the (non)perception of adolescents”. Traditional gender norms still occupy a significant place in the design of dating violence among adolescents. Such behaviors are more visible in these relationships, when commitment and exclusivity are seen as the main characteristics, authorizing possession and control. Jealousy emerges as the main trigger for violence and the technologies appear as contemporary resources to reinforce it. Conclusion: the need for early interventions with adolescents is reiterated, with a focus on actions that promote gender equality.

“…The second outcome was a three‐level relationship variable that categorized participants' self‐assessed relationship quality at the point of each interview. Although not validated, other papers have used similar self‐assessments to measure relationship quality 27 . Categories included: not in an intimate relationship, in a good or very good intimate relationship with anyone, or in a fair, poor, or very poor intimate relationship with anyone.…”

Context When an individual seeking an abortion cannot obtain one, carrying that pregnancy to term may affect both her relationship with the man involved in the pregnancy and her prospects for new intimate relationships. We aimed to assess the impact of receiving versus being denied a wanted abortion on women's intimate relationships, up to 5 years after seeking an abortion in the United States. Methods Using mixed‐effects regression models, we compared relationship outcomes among women who presented for abortion care just under facilities' gestational age limits (“Near‐limit abortion patients,” n = 452) with those who presented just over, were denied an abortion (“Turnaways,” n = 146) at 30 US facilities. Results At 1 week post‐abortion seeking, the predicted probability of being in a relationship with the man involved in the pregnancy was 58%, gradually declining to 27% at 5 years with no significant differences between those who received and those who were denied an abortion. However, from 2 to 5 years post‐abortion seeking, participants who were denied an abortion had double the odds (aOR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09–3.69) of being in a poor intimate relationship, with a predicted probability of being in a poor relationship of 14% among those denied an abortion compared with 9% among those who received one (p < 0.05). Conclusions Carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term does not increase the chance of being in an intimate relationship with the man involved in the pregnancy but may have negative implications for the quality of future relationships up to 5 years post‐abortion seeking.
