Abstract
Young adults are feeling the pressure to have a steady relationship. Using data from ‘Young in Ghent’ (N=735), this study examines if (1) young adults (18-25 year) with a (cohabiting) partner also have a better mental health, and if (2) there are gender differences. Furthermore, (3) the deficit paradigm as a dominant explanation model is challenged by looking at the specific social support advantages of singles. The results show that the positive association between relationship status and mental health only exists among young women and not among young men, and only with internalized symptoms of mental health (depression) and not with externalized symptoms (heavy drinking and aggressive behavior). Moreover, young adults who are single compensate the lack of social support from the partner by expecting more social support from their friends and parents. These complementary support is buffering the negative effect of the relationship status on depression among young women.
