友谊期望是理想的同性朋友的规范性行为和高度重视的品质。本文报道了对37篇稿件(36个样本，N=8825)进行的5项性别差异的Meta分析结果。在总体友谊期望值(d=0.17)上，对女性的偏爱略有不同。女性在四个类别中的三个类别中的友谊期望较高：对称互惠(例如，忠诚，真诚；d=.17)，交流(例如，自我表露，亲密；d=.39)，团结(例如，相互活动，陪伴；d=.03)，但代理(例如，身体健康，地位；d=-.34)在男性更高。总体期望值和对称互惠效应大小较小。有利于女性的交流和有利于男性的中介的中等效应大小支持进化论的预测。
Friendship expectations are prescriptive normative behaviors and highly valued qualities in ideal same-sex friends. This paper reports the results of five meta-analyses of sex differences from 37 manuscripts (36 samples, N = 8825). A small difference favoring females was detected in overall friendship expectations (d = .17). Friendship expectations were higher for females in three of four categories: symmetrical reciprocity (e.g., loyalty, genuineness; d = .17), communion (e.g., self-disclosure, intimacy; d = .39), solidarity (e.g., mutual activities, companionship; d = .03), but agency (e.g., physical fitness, status; d = -.34) was higher in males. Overall expectations and symmetrical reciprocity showed small effect sizes. Medium effect sizes for communion favoring females and for agency favoring males support predictions of evolutionary theory.
