我们进行了两项研究，以探讨意大利新兴成年人与家人和朋友的关系，注意性别和职业地位的潜在调节作用。在研究I中，我们的目的是通过定性的方法来捕捉新兴成年人对与家人和朋友互动的看法。参与者是39个新兴的成年人（51%的男性），他们接受了单独采访或在一个焦点小组。在研究II中，我们试图通过定量方法研究家庭和朋友对身份的重要性与生活满意度的关系。参与者为474名（47.3%为男性）填写自我报告问卷的新兴成年人。总体而言，研究结果表明，坚实的家庭关系和家庭的重要性，以身份的生活满意度的强烈影响。结果独立于性别和职业地位（大学生与工人）。因此，调查结果突出表明，在意大利，年轻人向成年人的过渡与家庭关系密切相关。(C)2014年青少年服务专业人员基金会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
We conducted two studies to examine relationships with family and friends in Italian emerging adults, paying attention to the potential moderating role of gender and occupational status. In Study I, we aimed at capturing emerging adults' perspective on interactions with both family and friends by means of a qualitative approach. Participants were 39 emerging adults (51% males), who were interviewed individually or within a focus group. In Study II, we sought to examine how family and friend importance to identity were related to life satisfaction through a quantitative approach. Participants were 474 (47.3% males) emerging adults who filled a self-report questionnaire. Overall, findings indicated solid family ties and a strong impact of family importance to identity for life satisfaction. Results were independent of gender and occupational status (university students vs. workers). Thus, findings highlighted that in the Italian context young people's transition to adulthood is strongly intertwined with family relationships.
