研究表明，在青春期晚期和成年早期，自尊心会增强，但在这一发展过程中存在很大的个体差异。然而，人们对这些发现的原因知之甚少。使用倾向得分匹配，我们测试了浪漫关系领域的重要转变（即，开始一段关系，结婚，分手）是否解释了为什么个人在特定的自尊轨迹上有所不同。数据来自德国的一项纵向研究，该研究包含3个具有全国代表性的晚期青少年和年轻人队列（总N = 9069）。这些分析是基于3年期间的4次评估。使用匹配的样本，结果表明，开始一段关系会增强自尊，而且这种增强在关系维持至少1年之后还会持续。经历一段关系的破裂会降低自尊，但这种影响在一年后消失，即使参与者保持单身。结婚不会影响自尊。此外，我们还测试了自尊对后期关系转变的选择效应。高自尊预示着一段关系的开始，低自尊预示着一段关系的破裂。所有的调查结果都跨越了性别、年龄和移民背景。此外，关系质量在自尊对关系破裂的影响以及开始一段较长或较短的关系对自尊的影响中起中介作用。这些发现具有重要的意义，因为它们表明自尊会影响关系领域中是否发生重要的转变，而经历这些转变又会影响自尊的进一步发展。
Research suggests that self-esteem increases during late adolescence and young adulthood, but that there is large interindividual variability in this development. However, little is known about the factors accounting for these findings. Using propensity score matching, we tested whether important transitions in the domain of romantic relationships (i.e., beginning a relationship, marrying, and breaking up) explain why individuals differ in the particular self-esteem trajectory they follow. Data came from a longitudinal German study with a large sample of 3 nationally representative cohorts of late adolescents and young adults (total N = 9,069). The analyses were based on 4 assessments across a 3-year period. Using matched samples, the results showed that beginning a relationship increased self-esteem and that the increase persisted when the relationship held at least for 1 year. Experiencing a relationship break-up decreased self-esteem, but the effect disappeared after 1 year, even if the participant stayed single. Marrying did not influence self-esteem. Additionally, we tested for selection effects of self-esteem on the later occurrence of relationship transitions. High self-esteem predicted the beginning of a relationship and low self-esteem predicted relationship break-up. All findings held across gender, age, and migration background. Furthermore, relationship quality mediated the effect of self-esteem on relationship break-up and the effect of beginning a longer versus a short relationship on self-esteem. The findings have significant implications because they show that self-esteem influences whether important transitions occur in the relationship domain and that, in turn, experiencing these transitions influences the further development of self-esteem.
