“Situationship” is a term that has been trending on social media, predominantly used by emerging adults to mean casual relationships characterized by ambiguity in emotional and romantic commitment. These casual relationships often feature emotional and physical intimacy without clearly defined labels. The present study of 213 adults, either currently involved in a situationship (n=79) or who had been involved in a past situationship (n=134), examined the extent to which these casual relationships meet relationship needs, measured by positive or negative emotional outcomes and sexual satisfaction, using partner-focused and self-focused items. Situationship ratings for current relationships were fairly high, with a mean of 6.94 (1-10 scale), whereas past situationship ratings were more neutral, with a mean score of 5.53. Persons who rated their current situationship highly also report more positive emotions and higher sexual satisfaction, both in terms of partner satisfaction and self-satisfaction. However, these correlations were smaller for persons reporting on past relationships, which was likely skewed by the lower overall situationship ratings for past relationships, which in turn might have reflected a more jaded view after a situationship has ended. Future analyses will examine the qualitative data collected to obtain a more nuanced understanding of these findings. These findings suggest that the negativity in public discourse about casual relationships may be mistaken for emerging adults: situationships were generally high quality or neutral, indicating that emerging adults may find emotional and sexual satisfaction through relationships that do not meet the traditional labels of exclusivity or commitment.
