Abstract: Romantic Relationships play a significant role during the years of adulthood. This thesis discusses the mixed findings that previous researchers have found about relationships in relation to ones self-esteem level. Universally, people tend to think of romantic relationships as the most important source of intimacy, connectedness, and companionship. Men and women from California State University, Northridge (CSUN) participated in this research study. Different demographic variables were studied in addition to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. A 2X2 factorial ANOV A showed one main significant effect on relationship status in college students' self-esteem. Those in relationships (M=24.35) had higher self-esteem levels than those who were currently single (M=21.75).
