我们基于新兴的成年文学来考察两种形式的关系不稳定：和解和与前任发生性关系；我们将这两种形式的关系称为搅动。分析新近出现的成年约会对象和同居者(n=792)的最新数据，我们发现近一半的人报告了和解(分手后又重聚)，超过一半的分手者继续保持性关系(与前任发生性关系)。我们分析与和解和与前任发生性关系相关的个人人口统计、社会心理和关系因素。这些发现表明，新兴的成人关系具有相当大的不确定性，并增加了我们对新兴成年人浪漫关系稳定性的理论和经验理解。
We build on the emerging adulthood literature to examine two forms of relationship instability, reconciliations and sex with an ex; we term these forms of relationship churning. Analyzing recent data on emerging adult daters and cohabitors (n = 792), we find that nearly half report a reconciliation (a breakup followed by reunion) and over half of those who break up continue a sexual relationship (sex with an ex). We analyze individual demographic, social psychological, and relationship factors associated with reconciliations and sex with an ex. These findings showcase that emerging adult relationships are characterized by considerable uncertainty and add to our theoretical and empirical understanding of stability in romantic relationships in emerging adulthood.
