无论是在经济独立一段时间后搬回家，还是从未搬出去，与父母同住的新兴成年人的比例都在增加。然而，人们对同居模式和同居的基本原理之间的联系知之甚少。使用托莱多青少年关系研究（n = 891），我们分析了以下人群的抑郁症状：(1)从未离开过父母的家；（二）返回父母家的；(3)目前没有与父母同住。约有五分之一的初出苗头的成年人要么回父母家，要么搬回父母家。在与父母同住的人中，近五分之二的人自食其力或回到父母家中，他们报告的抑郁症状明显更高。在共同居住的新兴成人中，内在动机和功利动机（即享受与父母同住和就业问题）都部分介导了共同居住与抑郁症状之间的关联。回到父母家只与出现就业问题的初出期成年人的抑郁症状水平升高有关。这些发现尤其重要，因为经济衰退对新兴成年人的打击尤其严重。区分回巢族和从未离开过家的新成人的能力，提供了对这一阶段父母共同生活的更细致的理解。
Whether moving back home after a period of economic independence, or having never moved out, the share of emerging adults living with parents is increasing. Yet little is known about the associations of coresidence patterns and rationales for coresidence for emerging adult well-being. Using the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (n = 891), we analyzed depressive symptoms among emerging adults who (1) never left the parental home; (2) returned to the parental home; and (3) were not currently living with a parent. About one-fifth of emerging adults had boomeranged or moved back in with their parents. Among those living with parents, nearly two-fifths had boomeranged or returned to their parental home and they reported significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms. Among coresident emerging adults, both intrinsic and utilitarian motivations (i.e., enjoy living with parents and employment problems) partially mediated the association between coresidence and depressive symptoms. Returning to the parental home was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms only among emerging adults experiencing employment problems. These findings are especially relevant because the recession hit emerging adults particularly hard. The ability to distinguish boomerang emerging adults and emerging adults who have never left home provides a more nuanced understanding of parental coresidence during this phase of the life course.
