Satisfaction with social relationships was assessed with
items (adapted) from the Social Relationships in Adult Life
Questionnaire (Kahn & Antonucci, 1980). Participants were
asked three single questions about their satisfaction with friendship
relationships, family relationships, and relationships in
general.
In addition participants were asked whether they had broken off
contact with any relatives. And, if this was the case, who those
persons were (see: Negative aspects of social relationships). These
answers were coded in terms of type of relationship.

1999; Wagner, Schütze, & Lang, 1996, 1999; Schütze
& Lang, 1993

Negative aspects of social relationships were assessed
within the social relationships questionnaire of the intensive
protocol only at Time 1. Participants were asked four single
questions concerning negative aspects of social relationship: (1)
demands, (2) time-budgeting, (3) offenses, and (4)
how many persons constantly get participant upset (the latter three
developed in the BASE project group, see items used in BASE). Remarks
which were made spontaneously by participants when answering the
fourth question (e. g. "My daughter...") were noted and coded in
terms of the type of relationship. Therefore, for some of the
participants there is additional information about who constantly
upsets them. Also, there is information, if participants had
broken contact to any relatives (1 = no, 2 = yes) and who those
persons were.

Sie sich dauernd ärgern müssen? Sie brauchen nicht
zu sagen, wer das ist, sondern nur die Anzahl.

We have talked a lot about your relationships with other
people. Is there anyone who constantly upsets you? You don't
have to say who it is, just tell me the number of the
