(2021) PSPR14 20211Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The purpose of the study was to achieve an increased understanding of young adults’ views regarding relationships in the family, self-esteem and psychological state. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight people who were in emerging adulthood and considered their relational experience as crucial for personal development. Six themes were identified in an interpretive phenomenological analysis. Important results were that positive relational patterns (open communication, equality, security) as well as negative models (lack of communication, balance of power, insecurity) experienced in childhood, affected young adults’ self-esteem at long-term, based on participants’ retrospective reconstruction. The patterns, on the other hand,... (More)

Important results were that positive relational patterns (open communication, equality, security) as well as negative models (lack of communication, balance of power, insecurity) experienced in childhood, affected young adults’ self-esteem at long-term, based on participants’ retrospective reconstruction. The patterns, on the other hand, seemed to be processed into more adaptive and well-thought-out models in participants’ romantic relationships in the emerging adulthood. The participants who experienced previous relationships as harmful or ambivalent expressed a great desire to practice interactions with new contacts. The following principles in relationships were emphasized: to have good communication with partners, to devote time and space for each other, to give love, to maintain equality and to set boundaries. These principles were considered to reflect both learned relational patterns and those formed due to one’s own relational experience. The results suggested that a balanced self-esteem should manifest itself in the positive emotions and acceptance of life, which together with a good state of health characterizes the individual’s well-being. Future research should deepen the study’s findings by using the combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches or multiple interviews and interviews in focus groups, respectively.
Keywords: emerging adulthood, family relationships, self-esteem, well-being, interpretative phenomenological analysis. (Less) - Popular Abstract (Swedish)
- Studiens syfte var att uppnå ökad förståelse för unga vuxnas syn på relationer i familjen, sin egen självkänsla och psykologiskt mående. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta personer som befann sig i vuxenblivandefasen och som ansåg sina relationella erfarenheter som avgörande för personlig utveckling. I en tolkande fenomenologisk analys identifierades sex teman. Viktiga resultat var att positiva relationella mönster (öppen kommunikation, jämlikhet, trygghet), liksom negativa mönster (brist i kommunikation, maktobalans, otrygghet) upplevda i barndomen, påverkade de unga vuxnas självkänsla på lång sikt, utifrån deltagarnas retrospektiva rekonstruktion. De negativa mönstren tycktes däremot bearbetas till mer adaptiva och... (More)
- Studiens syfte var att uppnå ökad förståelse för unga vuxnas syn på relationer i familjen, sin egen självkänsla och psykologiskt mående. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta personer som befann sig i vuxenblivandefasen och som ansåg sina relationella erfarenheter som avgörande för personlig utveckling. I en tolkande fenomenologisk analys identifierades sex teman. Viktiga resultat var att positiva relationella mönster (öppen kommunikation, jämlikhet, trygghet), liksom negativa mönster (brist i kommunikation, maktobalans, otrygghet) upplevda i barndomen, påverkade de unga vuxnas självkänsla på lång sikt, utifrån deltagarnas retrospektiva rekonstruktion. De negativa mönstren tycktes däremot bearbetas till mer adaptiva och genomtänkta modeller i romantiska relationer i vuxen ålder. Deltagarna som upplevt tidigare relationer som skadliga eller ambivalenta, uttryckte stor vilja att öva interaktioner med nya anknytningspersoner. Följande principer i relationer poängterades: att ha god kommunikation med sin partner, att avsätta tid och rum för varandra, att ge kärlek, att behålla jämlikhet och att sätta gränser. Dessa principer tycktes avspegla både inlärda relationella mönster och de som formades på grund av egen relationell erfarenhet. Resultaten antydde att en balanserad självkänsla borde uppenbara sig i positiva emotioner och acceptans av livet, vilket tillsammans med bra hälsotillstånd kännetecknar individens välbefinnande. Framtida forskning bör fördjupa studiens fynd genom att använda en kombination av kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder eller multipla intervjuer respektive intervjuer i fokusgrupper. (Less)
