Best friendships and romantic relationships are linked to psychological well-being in emerging adulthood, but few studies have assessed their contribution simultaneously. This research ( 190; 64.4% women) examined the links between intimacy and conflict with the best friend and the romantic partner on psychological well-being (self-esteem, depression, loneliness). Results showed that both relationships were independently linked to well-being, while also interacting with one another. Among participants reporting a less intimate or conflictual romantic relationship, an intimate best friendship was linked to higher self-esteem. Moreover, a conflictual best friendship was related to higher depressive symptoms only among those having a conflictual romantic relationship. Thus, best friendships and romantic relationships show distinct and combined contributions to well-being in emerging adulthood.
最佳友谊和浪漫关系与成年早期的心理健康有关，但很少有研究同时评估它们的贡献。本研究（190 名参与者；64.4%为女性）考察了与最好的朋友和浪漫伴侣的亲密关系和冲突与心理健康（自尊、抑郁、孤独）之间的联系。结果表明，这两种关系都与幸福感独立相关，同时也相互作用。在报告浪漫关系不太亲密或冲突较多的参与者中，与最好的朋友关系亲密与更高的自尊有关。此外，只有在与浪漫关系存在冲突的情况下，与最好的朋友关系冲突才与更高的抑郁症状有关。因此，在成年早期，最佳友谊和浪漫关系对幸福感有独特的和综合的贡献。
