German adults (N = 902) between the ages\r\nof 20 and 86 completed the Network of Relationships\r\nInventory (Furman and Buhrmester 1992). Participants felt\r\nmost supported by their partners, followed by their children, mothers, friends, fathers, and siblings. Conflicts were\r\nmore frequently found within the family (especially with\r\nthe partner, followed by children, mothers, fathers, and\r\nsiblings) than with friends. Except for partner relationships,\r\nboth conflict and support decreased with age. Concerning\r\nrelative power within their relationships, partners, mothers,\r\nand siblings are seen as equals, friends and especially\r\nfathers are perceived as more powerful, and children as\r\nless, yet increasingly powerful. Regarding all relationship\r\ntypes and relationship qualities, the differences between\r\nwomen and men were small.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2022-08-02T23:59:24Z","keyword":["Family","Friends","\u0001 Support","\u0001 Conflict","\u0001 Power"],"issue":"4","publication_status":"published","page":"239-249","doi":"10.1007/s10804-009-9070-2"}
