Five modes of reacting to the intimacy-isolation crisis of young adulthood were described, measured, and validated. Criteria for inclusion in one of the five intimacy statuses were (1) presence or absence of peer friendships, (2) presence or absence of an enduring-committed-heterosexual relationship, and (3) "depth" vs. "superficiality" of peer relationships. Statuses were compared on a "partner-perception" task assessing subject's intimate knowledge of his partner (a close male or female friend who accompanied the subject to the experiment). In all, 66 male college students participated in the study, 50 with male partners and 16 with female partners. The results support the hypothesis that subjects high in intimacy status share a greater degree of mutual knowledge and understanding with their partners then medium-or low-level intimacy status subjects.
描述、测量和验证了年轻人对亲密-孤立危机的五种反应模式。被纳入五种亲密状态之一的标准是：(1) 是否有同龄人的友谊，(2) 是否有持久的、承诺的异性关系，以及 (3) 同龄人际关系的“深度”与“表面性”。通过一项“伴侣认知”任务对不同状态进行比较，该任务评估了主体对其伴侣的亲密了解程度（一个亲密的男性或女性朋友，陪同主体参加实验）。共有 66 名男性大学生参与了这项研究，其中 50 名有男性伴侣，16 名有女性伴侣。结果支持了这样一种假设，即处于高亲密状态的主体与其伴侣之间的相互了解程度比处于中或低亲密状态的主体更高。
