Although a reciprocal dynamic between network diversity and well\u2010being is likely, longitudinal evidence supporting reciprocal effects is limited. This study investigates dynamic transactions between network diversity and well\u2010being (life satisfaction, loneliness, and depressiveness) in a community\u2010based sample of middle\u2010aged adults from Germany. It also explores moderations by the duration of living alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were drawn from the three\u2010wave RIKSCHA (Risks and Chances of Living Alone) project, which includes <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009389 middle\u2010aged adults living alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cross\u2010lagged panel models revealed high rank\u2010order stabilities and correlated changes in network diversity and well\u2010being. Random\u2010intercept cross\u2010lagged panel models and dynamic panel models indicated that unobserved traits accounted for these high stabilities. Correlated changes disappeared when accounting for the trait\u2010like stability of variables. Across all models, no evidence of reciprocal associations between network diversity and well\u2010being was found. All results remained consistent regardless of the duration of living alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study discusses trait factors accounting for the high stabilities observed in network diversity and well\u2010being among middle\u2010aged adults living alone.
