El objetivo de este trabajo era examinar la asociación que existe entre varios factores personales (Identidad y Autonomía emocional) y familiares (Ambiente familiar y Apoyo parental) y la experiencia relacional de pareja en la adolescencia. Las variables relacionales utilizadas fueron: situación relacional actual, estadio relacional, duración, intimidad y experiencia sexual. Se incide en las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. La muestra fue de 600 adolescentes.
Los resultados mostraron que las chicas están implicadas en relaciones más duraderas e íntimas. Además, las chicas con una relación actual mostraron una mayor adquisición de la identidad, que aquellas que no tenían una relación. Por último, la identidad estaba asociadapositivamente con la intimidad en las chicas y con la experiencia sexual en los chicos. Estos resultados se discuten en términos de la conexión que existe entre el desarrollo personal y social de los/las adolescents.
