Romantic Breakups Can Trigger Trauma-Like Brain Activity in Young Adults

Researchers found that for some young adults, breakups elicit brain responses similar to trauma. Participants who viewed breakup-related images, including those of their ex, showed increased activation in regions associated with emotional pain and threat detection.

Teen Dating Violence Victimization and Mental Health in Adulthood: The Mediating Roles of Violence Experiences and Lifestyle Factors

Adolescent dating violence victimization is a prevalent but often underexamined form of early relational trauma, with potential long-term consequences for mental health. This study investigates the longitudinal association between adolescent dating violence victimization and depressive symptoms in adulthood and explores the mediating roles of subsequent violence-related experiences and lifestyle factors.

Interparental Conflict and Relationship Expectations: Exploring Potential Mediators

The present study aimed to evaluate the direct relationship

between interparental conflict (IPC) and emerging adults’ romantic

relationship expectations, a relatively underexplored area in existing

literature. We also sought to examine three potential psychological mediators that may help explain how IPC influences these expectations: attachment orientation (avoidance and anxiety), resilience, and relationship self-efficacy. By exploring these mediational pathways, the research intends to provide

deeper insight into the mechanisms through which early family conflict

shapes young adults’ beliefs and attitudes about romantic relationships.
