通过五年级秋季和春季的友谊提名，确定了五组儿童：(1)与同一个孩子有稳定最好友谊的儿童(有些稳定)；(2)共同最好的友谊在时间1和2，但最好的朋友在每次都是不同的孩子(不同的稳定)；(3)在时间1最好的朋友，但在时间2没有最好的友谊(友谊丧失)；(4)在时间1没有最好的友谊，但在时间2有最好的友谊(友谊增加)；以及(5)长期无朋友的儿童。心理社会适应的同伴提名是在这两个时间点收集的。两组稳定的儿童被评为亲社会组和受欢迎组，攻击性和被害性水平较低。研究结果表明，在孩子们的适应过程中，长期保持最好友谊的一致性可能与稳定的友谊一样重要。这项研究的结果也强调了最好的友谊“更新”的重要性。
Five groups of children were identified using friendship nominations from the fall and spring of their fifth-grade year: (1) children with a stable best friendship with the same child (some-stable); (2) children with a mutual best friendship of Times 1 and 2, but the best friend was a different child at each time (different-stable); (3) children with a best friendship at Time 1 but not at Time 2 (friendship loss); (4) children who had no best friendship at Time 1 but did have a best friendship at Time 2 (friendship gain); and (5) chronically friendless children. Peer nominations of psychosocial adjustment were gathered at both time points. The friendship gain group become less victimized and the friendship loss group became more victimized by Time 2. The two stable groups of children were rated as prosocial and popular, with low levels of aggression and victimization. Findings suggest that the consistency of having any best friendship across time may be as important to children's adjustment as same-friendship stability. The results of this A study also highlight the importance of best friendship "renewal.".
