Although many individuals report being friends with their ex-romantic partners (Wilmot, Carbaugh, & Baxter, 1985), the literature regarding post-romantic friendships is very limited. We investigated whether satisfaction in the dissolved romantic relationship could predict post-romantic friendships and friendship maintenance. We found that the more satisfied individuals were during the dissolved romance, the more likely they were to remain friends and the more likely they were to engage in friendship maintenance behaviors. We also found that friendship maintenance fully mediated the association between past romantic satisfaction and current friendship satisfaction.
尽管许多人报告说与他们的前任浪漫伴侣是朋友关系（Wilmot、Carbaugh 和 Baxter，1985），但关于浪漫关系后友谊的文献却非常有限。我们调查了在已结束的浪漫关系中，满足感是否可以预测浪漫关系后的友谊以及友谊维持。我们发现，个体在已结束的恋爱关系中越满足，他们成为朋友的可能性就越大，他们进行友谊维护行为的可能性也越大。我们还发现，友谊维护完全中介了过去的浪漫关系满意度和当前友谊满意度之间的关系。
