先前对青少年同伴关系的研究主要集中在友谊的人际层面,而不是浪漫关系的人际层面,并且很少研究少数群体。我们随机抽取了 122 名青少年作为样本,研究了友谊、恋爱关系中的种族和性别差异,以及最亲密的友谊和恋爱关系在五个人际领域的一致性:相互支持、自我表露、伤害性冲突、害怕背叛和人际敏感性。在关系类型的积极和消极维度之间的差异中发现了显着的性别种族差异。与恋爱关系相比,白人女孩在友谊关系中的自我表露水平明显更高,而白人男孩的自我暴露水平几乎相当。与白人青少年相比,黑人青少年女孩和男孩在恋爱关系中的自我暴露程度与同性友谊相似。就关系中的负面因素而言,女孩报告的浪漫冲突比友谊中的伤害性冲突更多,而男孩则报告相反的情况。结果强调了考虑种族和性别对青少年在同伴关系和恋爱关系中人际交往能力的影响的重要性。
Prior research on adolescent peer relationships has focused on interpersonal dimensions of friendships but not of romantic relationships, and has rarely examined minority groups. We used a random sample of 122 adolescents to examine race and gender differences in friendships, romantic relationships, and the congruence between closest friendship and romantic relationship on five interpersonal domains: mutual support, self-disclosure, hurtful conflict, fear of betrayal, and interpersonal sensitivity. Significant race by gender differences in the difference between relationship type for both positive and negative dimensions of relationships were found. White girls reported significantly higher levels of self-disclosure in their friendship ties in comparison to romantic relationship, whereas white boys reported nearly equivalent levels. In comparison to white adolescents, Black adolescent girls and boys had similar levels of self-disclosure in their romantic relationships as their same-sex friendships. With regards to negative elements of relationships, girls reported more hurtful conflict in romance than friendship, whereas boys reported an opposite pattern. Results highlight the importance of consideration of race and gender influences on youth interpersonal skills within peer and romantic relationships.
