人们对友谊所需的技能知之甚少，因为这些技能与同伴接受所需的技能不同。本研究考察了在考虑了同伴接受程度后，儿童在友谊冲突情境中的目标和策略是否可以预测他们的友谊调整。四年级和五年级的儿童（N = 696）回答了30个假设的情况下，他们有一个与朋友的冲突。结果表明，儿童的目标高度相关，他们的策略和儿童的目标和策略是预测他们的现实生活中的友谊调整。追求对朋友的报复是与缺乏朋友和拥有低质量友谊最密切相关的目标或策略。每个目标和战略也存在性别差异，女孩比男孩表现出更亲社会的目标和战略取向。
Little is known about the skills required for friendship, as distinct from those required for peer acceptance. The present study examined whether children's goals and strategies in friendship conflict situations are predictive of their friendship adjustment, after accounting for level of peer acceptance. Fourth- and 5th-grade children (N = 696) responded to 30 hypothetical situations in which they were having a conflict with a friend. Results indicated that children's goals were highly related to their strategies and that children's goals and strategies were predictive of their real-life friendship adjustment. Pursuing the goal of revenge toward a friend was the goal or strategy most strongly associated with lacking friends and having poor-quality friendships. Gender differences were also found for each goal and strategy, with girls displaying a more prosocial goal and strategy orientation than boys.
