  text: This longitudinal study addresses the impact of the transition from university
    to work life on emerging adults' well-being and their relationship with their
    parents. A sample of 102 German students attending their last year at the university
    (M = 25.44 years, SD = 2.61) completed a questionnaire. Among others, scales from
    the Network of Relationships Inventory and symptom checklists were administered.
    Four years later, 51 employed participants of the initial sample were contacted
    again. During the transition from university to work life, well-being and the
    relationship with their parents improved. Following a typological approach, two
    groups of emerging adults were revealed by means of cluster analyses. Well-being
    in one group increased, whereas well-being in the second group decreased. Group
    membership was predicted by sex, personality, and the child–parent relationship
    in university times.
