青少年自我报告的友谊网络的短期稳定性被视为（1）参与者的性别，（2）友谊状态（最好与次要），（3）友谊性别组成（同性与异性），（4）友谊背景（仅学校与非学校仅与多个）的函数。青少年（N = 102）参加了五个每月一次的电话采访中，他们提名他们的朋友，并为他们每个人提供具体的信息。结果表明，平均而言，三分之一的参与者在他们的网络中提名的友谊在五个月内不稳定，女孩的感知网络比男孩更不稳定。最佳友谊选择比次要选择更稳定。女孩对异性友谊的报告比男孩更不稳定，多背景友谊（学校和非学校）比单一背景友谊（仅学校或非学校）更稳定。结果进行了讨论，强调短期评估的贡献，了解青少年网络如何随着时间的推移而变化。
Short-term stability in adolescents' self-reported friendship networks was examined as a function of (1) participants' gender, (2) friendship status (best vs. secondary), (3) friendship gender composition (same sex vs. opposite sex), and (4) friendship contexts (school only vs. nonschool only vs. multiple). Adolescents (N = 102) took part in five monthly telephone interviews in which they nominated their friends and provided specific information for each of them. Results indicated that on average, one-third of participants' nominated friendships in their network were unstable over five months, with girls' perceived networks being more unstable than boys. Best friendship choices were more stable than secondary ones. Girls' reports of their opposite-sex friendships were more unstable than boys', and multicontext friendships (school and nonschool) were more stable than single-context friendships (school only or nonschool only). Results are discussed by highlighting the contribution of short-term assessments in understanding how adolescent networks change over time.
