这项纵向研究调查了166名（77名女孩，89名男孩）7至9岁的芬兰儿童之间的社会孤立和适应问题之间的联系。同伴提名的社会参与和自我报告的内化和外化的问题，收集在春季的第一和第二年级。友谊调节同伴和调整变量之间的前瞻性协会。在有朋友的儿童中，社会孤立与内化或外化问题之间没有预期的联系。在unfriended儿童中，最初的社会孤立与随后的内化和外化问题的增加呈正相关，最初的内化和外化问题预测随后的社会孤立增加。研究结果表明，友谊缓冲了与孤立和适应困难相关的不良后果。
This longitudinal study investigated prospective links between social isolation and adjustment problems among 166 (77 girls, 89 boys) Finnish children ages 7 to 9. Peer nominations for social engagement and self-reports of internalizing and externalizing problems were collected in the spring of the 1st and 2nd grade. Friendship moderated prospective associations between peer and adjustment variables. Among friended children, there were no prospective associations between social isolation and either internalizing or externalizing problems. Among unfriended children, initial social isolation was positively linked to subsequent increases in internalizing and externalizing problems, and initial internalizing and externalizing problems predicted subsequent increases in social isolation. The findings suggest that friendship buffers against the adverse consequences associated with being isolated and presenting adjustment difficulties.
