“Directivity toward fixed groups,” which is one of the directivities concerning peer groups, affects a discrete atmosphere of classes. This discrete atmosphere in turn impacts “directivity toward monopolized friendship,” which is one of the directivities concerning peer groups. Furthermore, “monopolized friendship” has an impact on “directivity toward fixed groups.” The existence of this cyclical process with respect to girls was suggested in the upper grades of elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. Moreover, it was indicated that “directivity toward monopolized friendship” has a negative impact on the feeling of school adaptation among girls in the upper grades of elementary schools.
