对青少年友谊的研究通常将这些社会关系与生活其他阶段的友谊或青春期的其他关系区别对待。为了在这些文献中进行比较，本研究侧重于青少年友谊的两个基本上被忽视的方面：他们在积极调整中的作用以及这种作用因社会结构和制度背景而异的方式。在对全国青少年健康纵向研究中的9，223名青少年的数据进行分析时，我们发现那些有喜欢学校或在学校表现良好的朋友的人比那些朋友不太注重学业的人有更少的学业问题。这种潜在的保护作用的朋友没有不同的种族，但它确实不同的学校的劣势水平。此外，这种学校劣势的调节作用因种族而异。这些结果表明，青少年的友谊作为社会资本，其价值是特定的上下文。
Research on adolescent friendships has typically treated these social ties differently from friendships at other stages of life or from other relationships during adolescence. To draw parallels among these literatures, this study focuses on two largely neglected aspects of adolescent friendships: their role in positive adjustment and the way in which this role varies by social structural and institutional context. In an analysis of data from 9,223 adolescents in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we found that those who had friends who liked school or did well in school had fewer academic problems than did those whose friends were less academically oriented. This potential protective role of friends did not differ by race, but it did differ by level of school disadvantage. Moreover, this moderating role of school disadvantage differed by race. These results suggest that adolescent friendships serve as social capital, the value of which is context-specific.
