Teens who don’t date may be more well-adjusted and less depressed, new study finds.
When it comes to teen dating, a new study found that students not in a romantic relationship had stronger social skills and were less depressed than their peers.
Additionally, it found that those students also had lower ratings of depression compared to peers who were dating. The majority of adolescents who were involved in romantic relationships by middle adolescence, used a broad definition that included spending time with or going out with someone for more than a month.
The authors of the study explain that dating in adolescence is considered normative behavior and that these relationships could provide a valuable opportunity for important developmental tasks like identity formation and experimentation with sexuality.
