The present study used observational data on preschool friends and cluster analysis to derive friendship types. Friend pairs were videotaped in a 1‐hour free‐play session, and observers rated several qualities of the interaction. Cluster analysis suggested that both 3‐ and 5‐cluster solutions produced meaningful groupings. For both solutions, the largest cluster included friend pairs that were harmonious, responsive, and interactive during play. A second type of friendship was characterized by harmony but relatively independent play. A disjointed friendship type, in which friends were low on measures of coordinated interaction and positive interaction, was the most stable over a 1‐year period and tended to contain at least one insecurely attached child. Discussion focuses on how an analysis of friendship type can be used to extend our understanding of the nature and socialization functions of friendship
