Abstract

Data from 534 university undergraduate students from UNL was collected by self-report surveys. This research examined the relationship of number of times moved as a child and one’s rating of how serious their most current relationship was across the number of siblings, whether one grew up in a two parent family type, and individual’s self-esteem (low, medium or high). Factorial analysis revealed a significant three-way interaction between the number of siblings, family type, and self-esteem with relation to one’s rating of how serious their most current relationship was and an interaction between the number of times moved as a child.
