Humans are social creatures that long for relational connectedness. At the same time, they have a strong sense of self that seeks to maximize the capabilities of the individual. In these partially contradictory motivations selfevaluation has been proposed as a major process to initiate selfregulative mechanisms. One frequently identified selfevaluative indicator is selfesteem. The present research aims at exploring the extent to which selfevaluative processes depend on and interact with social relationships. The author links the selfesteem and social relationship literature with an emphasis on age related changes and specific challenges in the context of childlessness. Two empirical studies explore differential patterns of egocentered social networks and dyadic relationships addressing effects on global and domainspecific selfesteem as well as a new construct of relationship functioning, that is, relational selfesteem. Findings point to a relational nature of selfevaluation. In all, results open up a new perspective on personal functioning across the life span by means of differential and relationship specific considerations.
