Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between relational reflexivity and the well-being of young couples with children. The research involved 154 individuals belonging to 77 young
couples with children, and we used a dyadic approach (Actor-Partner interdependence Model) to
explore the association between the two dimensions of relational reflexivity (self-detachment and
relational agency) and the well-being of parents. To study relational reflexivity, we collected data on
self-detachment and we validated a measure to approach relational commitment and functioning within the couple (family relational agency). Then, we explored differences in couple’s
well-being (relationship satisfaction and generativity). Results showed that the two dimensions of
reflexivity are differently associated with the well-being of the couple. Important differences emerged
between actor and partner effects, suggesting that couple generativity and
quality of marriage outcomes are differently related to relational reflexivity, wich are linked to gender differences.
