Adolescent Romantic Behaviors and Perceptions: Age- and Gender-Related Differences, and Links with Family and Peer Relationships.

Shulman, Shmuel; Scharf, Miri

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v10 n1 p99-118 2000

Examined role of age, gender, and dating in Israeli high school students' romantic behaviors/perceptions and linkages between family/peer relationships and affective intensity with romantic partners. Found that intimacy and level of emotional involvement were similar across adolescence. Girls emphasized attachment and care more than boys. Affective intensity with same-gender close friends was related to affective intensity with romantic partners. (Author/KB)
