In addition to a comprehensive literature review, the writer also did a practical survey to find out the relational behaviors of junior high school students. The survey consisted of six parts: care and support, jealousy induction, avoiding conflict, spying, allowed control, and assurance. Three research methods were used, including Romantic Relations Maintenance Behaviors Scale, Loneliness Scale, and Codependency Assessment Scale. Data were collected from 427 junior high students and analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test and hierarchical regression analysis. The main findings were as follows: 1. The first love experience tends to start as early as during elementary school years. 2. The correlation levels between all types of co-dependency and romantic relational maintenance behaviors are higher than those between loneliness and romantic relational maintenance behaviors. 3. There are significant gender differences in the romantic relational maintenance behaviors. 4. 24.9% (F=15.832，p＜.01) of the variability in the dependent variable (allowed control ) is predictable from gender, grade, loneliness and co-dependency . 5.A disordinal interaction was found between the ndependent variable(loneliness) and moderator variable (co-dependency, especially the inability to express emotion publicly), which can effectively mediate the influence of loneliness over the behavior of avoiding conflict.
