与父母的互动为青少年日后的同伴关系奠定了重要的基础。这项研究的重点是三年级时母亲和父亲的敏感性与六年级友谊结果的关系。由于与父母的互动为孩子提供了最早学习合作等亲社会行为的机会，而合作在理论上被概念化为友谊的基础，因此合作可能在父母教养和孩子以后的社会关系之间发挥着一定的作用。使用国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所的早期儿童保育和青少年发展样本（N = 955；51% 女性；83% 白人）和多方法、多报告者纵向设计，测试了儿童合作作为将父母敏感性与青少年早期友谊联系起来的中介机制。结果表明，来自母亲和父亲对观察到的友谊互动和通过合作感知的友谊质量的敏感性的大多数间接路径是显着的。研究结果让我们更具体地了解父母的敏感性如何转化为更好的友谊。
Interactions with mothers and fathers form a critical foundation for youths' later peer relationships. This study focused on the associations of maternal and paternal sensitivity in third grade with friendship outcomes in sixth grade. Because interactions with parents provide the earliest opportunities for children to learn prosocial behaviors such as cooperation, and cooperation is theoretically conceptualized as a foundation of friendship, cooperation may play a role in the link between parenting and children's later social relationships. Using the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development sample (N = 955; 51% female; 83% White), and a multimethod, multireporter longitudinal design, children's cooperation was tested as a mediating mechanism that linked parental sensitivity to early adolescent friendship. Results indicated that most indirect paths from both mothers and fathers' sensitivity to observed friendship interactions and perceived friendship quality, via cooperation, were significant. Findings provide a more concrete understanding of how parental sensitivity translates to better friendships.
