Describe the general pattern of romantic development and factors during development that are associated with more intimate and high-quality romantic relationships in early adulthood.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. The pattern of development typically progresses from same-sex cliques to mixed-sex cliques, which may lead to group dating and eventually a romantic relationship.
2. Although there is great deal of variability in terms of age, the majority of tenth graders report "dating," and by ages 17 to 18, many teens report relationships that last longer than a year.
3. Factors during development: Longitudinal studies reveal that secure attachment in infancy, social competence within the peer group in middle childhood, supportive relationships with parents in adolescence, experience of a successful romantic relationship in adolescence, and the absence of conflict, stress, or poor communication in the family are all associated with more positive and long-lasting romantic relationships in early adulthood.
