Mental health states: 
-Depression
-Impulsivity
-Mastery (how much control an individual believes they have over their environment)
-Self-Esteem

Dating habits: 
-relationship happiness
-conflict
-number of dating partners ]]> 2017-03-09 15:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159014671 grayce2 https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159016753 While the relationship between mental health and dating habits has been studied within developmental ages, there are very few studies which detail the correspondence across developmental stages - especially with the exact same population of individuals. 

Prior research has been cross-sectional and short-term. Researchers located four studies which were longitudinal and examined long-term effects of adolescent mental health states. 

1. Robins, Caspi, and Moffitt (2002) found that "negative emotionality" in late-adolescence was correlated with a lower quality of relationship, higher rates of partner-abuse, and more conflict in relationships in early adulthood. 

2. Johnson and Galambos (2014) found that low self-esteem, higher rates of depressoin, and neurotic behavior in adolescence was related to a lower quality of relationship in early adulthood. 

3. Vujeva and Furman (2011) found that individuals with higher rates of depressive symptoms in adolescents reported greater conflict in relationships during early adulthood. ]]> 2017-03-09 15:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159016753 grayce2 https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159019801 Thorsen and Pearce-Morris (2016) hypothesized four relationships to be present within the data set they examined. 

1. High self-esteem and mastery in adolescence will be positively related with more romantic partners in early adulthood. These individuals may also report higher levels of happiness and less conflict in their early adult relationships. 

 2. High levels of depressive symptoms will be positively related with fewer partners, less happiness, and more conflict in early adult relationships. 

3. Higher rates of impulsivity will be related with a greater number of romantic partners, lower rates of happiness, and more conflict in early adult relationships. 

4. Effects of mental health states on relationships will be greater for women than men. ]]> 2017-03-09 15:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159019801 grayce2 https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159022150 (Researchers controlled for "gender, race, age, socioeconomic status, household structure during adolescence, parent-child relationship quality, respondent's parenthood status, and whether the respondent first engaged in sex at an early age...") ]]> 2017-03-09 16:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159022150 grayce2 https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159030661 2017-03-09 16:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159030661 grayce2 https://padlet.com/grayce2/i78hyzfwto2h/wish/159030736 -Mental health state of respondents was related to the average number of partners in late adolescence and young adulthood 
      -Higher rates of impulsivity in adolescence related to more dating partners 
      -Higher rates of impulsivity in mid-adolescence related to having significantly more dating partners among men than women 
      -Higher rates of self-esteem and mastery during adolescence related to having more dating partners in early adulthood (five or more dating partners/year)

-Individuals who reported higher rates of impulsivity in adolescence were significantly more likely to report higher levels of happiness in early adulthood relationships. 

-Higher rates of symptoms of depression in adolescence related to higher degree of conflict within dating relationships
      -Mastery and depression in adolescence are related to relationship-specific conflict in early adulthood (mastery = less conflict, depression = more conflict)
