Resumen:
Some correlates and antecedents of leaving home were examined in the fourth wave of a longitudinal sample of Argentinian emerging adults aged 21-26. Regarding psychological health, no differences in self-esteem, depression, anxiety, antisocial behavior, aggressiveness or substance use were found among those residing with parents (62%) or with a romantic partner (25%) or by themselves –excepting males’ binge drinking. Living at home in emerging adulthood did not jeopardize the quality of relationship with parents: No differences in conflict or support were found among the groups. Aditionally, type of residence was not related to previous quality of the relationship or with parents´ divorce.
