Examined European-American 19-year-olds' self-defining memories about relationships with parents and/or peers. Found that parent memories emphasized separation more so than peer memories, which emphasized closeness. Parental separation was exemplified by parental divorce experiences, parent closeness by comforting a grieving parent, and peer closeness by first-time romances. Conflict was more prevalent in parent than peer memories and was associated with meaning-making. (Author/KB)
