这项五波研究旨在调查 12 至 20 岁青少年对最佳友谊中的支持、消极互动和力量的看法的发展。此外,还探讨了三个维度之间的性别差异和联系。共有 593 名青少年早期(53.6% 男孩)和 337 名青少年中期(43.3% 男孩)参与。多组多变量加速增长曲线显示对男孩和女孩的支持都有所增加。研究发现,男孩的负面互动暂时增加然后减少,而女孩的负面互动则保持稳定。男孩的力量暂时增加,女孩的力量暂时减少。结果表明,(1)青春期友谊变得更加支持;(2)权力问题在男孩的友谊中更为突出,男孩认为更有权势的同龄人更支持男孩,而不是女孩;(3)男孩的友谊在更加平等方面表现出滞后的发展。 (C) 2009 年青少年服务专业人员协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This five-wave study aims to investigate the development of adolescents' perceptions of support, negative interaction, and power in best friendships from ages 12 to 20 years. Furthermore, gender differences and linkages between the three dimensions are explored. A total of 593 early adolescents (53.6% boys) and 337 middle adolescents (43.3% boys) participated. A multigroup multivariate accelerated growth curve showed an increase of support for both boys and girls. Negative interaction was found to temporarily increase and then decrease for boys, while remaining stable for girls. Power temporarily increased for boys and decreased for girls. Results indicated that (1) friendships become more supportive during adolescence, (2) power issues are more prominent in friendships of boys and more powerful peers are perceived as more supportive by boys but not by girls, and (3) friendships of boys show a lagged development towards more equality.
