  text: This longitudinal study addresses the role of support given by parents and
    peers during the transition from university to work life. A sample of 64 German
    university students in their last year at the university completed scales from
    the Network of Relationships Inventory regarding general support, namely, instrumental
    aid and intimacy with mothers, fathers, romantic partners, and friends. Four years
    later, they assessed domain-specific support when looking for work, namely, joint
    exploration and instrumental support. Participants perceived receiving both types
    of support from all significant others. However, joint exploration was more important
    than instrumental support. They felt especially supported by romantic partners.
    Women received more support than did men. Both types of domain-specific support
    were explained by general modes of support assessed 4 years earlier. Whether parents,
    friends, and partners were perceived as helpful during the transition was explained
    mainly by joint exploration. Again, support from a partner was seen as especially
    helpful in contrast to help from parents and friends. The special significance
    of joint exploration underlines the benefit of counseling at the transition from
    university to work life.
