The aim of this study was to verify whether the links between features of best-friendship quality (intimacy, reliable alliance, conflict) and well-being indicators (self-esteem, loneliness) change from early emerging adulthood to early established adulthood. The moderating effect of gender and investment in romantic life on these links was examined as well. For the purpose, 346 individuals (58% women) completed questionnaires at age 20 and again at age 30. Multilevel analysis were performed for each well-being indicators separately. The results showed reliable alliance to be associated with both well-being indicators, and intimacy to be associated with loneliness. Age moderated the effect of intimacy on self-esteem, whereas investment in romantic life moderated the effect of reliable alliance. Finally, triple interactions emerged between conflict, gender and age in their associations with self-esteem and loneliness, underscoring particularities for men. These results underscore the most influential features of friendship quality for well-being.
本研究的目的是验证最佳友谊质量特征（亲密性、可靠联盟、冲突）与幸福感指标（自尊、孤独感）之间的联系从成年早期到成年早期是否发生变化。同时也考察了性别和浪漫生活投入对这些联系的调节作用。为此，346名个体（58%为女性）在20岁时完成了问卷调查，并在30岁时再次进行了调查。对每个幸福感指标分别进行了多层次分析。结果表明，可靠联盟与两个幸福感指标均相关，亲密性与孤独感相关。年龄调节了亲密性对自尊的影响，而浪漫生活投入调节了可靠联盟的影响。最后，冲突、性别和年龄在与自尊和孤独感的关联中出现了三重交互作用，突出了男性的特殊性。这些结果强调了友谊质量对幸福感最具影响力的特征。
