چکیده : 

This paper intends to gain insight into the role of childhood relationships and experiences

within the parental home for the formation and meaning of later family relationships and

loneliness. Particularly, childhood attachment to mother and father and stressful

childhood experiences were studied in their association with satisfaction in the romantic

relationship, the quality of adult family ties and the perceived quality of the social

network, i.e. loneliness in adulthood. Based on data from the Netherlands Kinship Panel

Study () structural equation models were estimated to predict adult relationships

and loneliness with childhood experiences. Positive attachment experiences with parents,

such as reliability, closeness and supportiveness during childhood were associated with

greater satisfaction in the romantic relationship, stronger family ties and less loneliness,

whereas stressful childhood experiences, such as conflicts and violence negatively

predicted the quality of adult relationships. Life span theoretical perspectives, such as

attachment theory are discussed as useful unifying framework to study social relation-

ships, their interconnectedness and association with outcome during all phases of life.
