Which type of relationship do you have—or wish you had? Here's why knowing what you want is so important, according to DrTylerJamison
and big conflicts. Some are warm and stable. All of these experiences teach us about ourselves and help us grow, but it’s useful to know which types of relationships we prefer and which seem healthiest for us.
In a study I conducted with Dr. Jonathon Beckmeyer, we set out to explore different types of relationships and how they relate to young adults’ well-being.In relationship science, we often present participants with a set of options and ask which one best fits their current relationship status—single, casually dating, committed relationship, engaged, married. These labels are useful in some of the studies we do, but they don’t tell us much about the relationships themselves.
Dr. Beckmeyer and I measured relationship dynamics like warmth, support, negative interactions, and relationship satisfaction to better understand what was going on between partners. We also measured parts of the structure of the relationship, such as commitment, length of the relationship, and how much the partners had combined their lives .
These factors clustered together to show us five types of relationships. Which one sounds the most like the relationship you’re in—or the one you want?These couples were warm, supportive, and had low levels of negative interactions. They thought there was a pretty good chance they would get married, but they had not combined their lives very much. None of them were living with their partners, and compared to some other relationship types, they did not spend as much of their free time together.
