The purpose of this paper was to describe romantic relationships from the
perspective of urban, adolescent girls, to address gaps in our understanding of
their relationship dimensions. Minority adolescent girls (n = 17) participated
in private semi-structured interviews aimed to elicit the understanding of the
adolescents' perspectives on their own relationship experiences and dynamics. The
research team conducted conventional content analysis of the interview
transcripts. Four major themes emerged about romantic relationships: (1)
influence of male pursuit and social norms on relationship initiation factors;
(2) a romantic partner is a confidant, friend, and companion; (3) negotiating
intimacy respectfully; and (4) relationship conflict through control and abuse.
Adolescents described sub-themes of social norms of male pursuit and relationship
pressures that dictated relationship initiation. Relationships were depicted by
emotional support, caring, and companionship. Adolescents described positive
negotiation skills. However, relationship conflict, including controlling
behaviors and violence, was illustrated in these same relationships. This study
provides a rich description of romantic relationships from the perspectives of
urban, adolescent girls. Most salient findings included social pressures and a
combination of both positive and negative attributes. Implications include the
need for intervention development at the community level to address social
pressures, recognition of positive adolescent relationship attributes, and
facilitation of skills to identify and address low-quality relationship
characteristics.
