Gender and friendship: Why are men's best same‐sex friendships less intimate and supportive
Despite efforts to dismiss it, the finding that men's same‐sex friendships are less intimate and supportive than women's is robust and widely documented. We tested six possible explanations for this finding: lack of parental models for friendship, emotional restraint, homophobia, masculine self‐identity, competitive strivings, and role conflicts. Of these, emotional restraint and homophobia toward gay men provided the most explanatory power for g…

Friendships in Australia and the United States: From Feminization to a More Heroic Image
Cultural critics of the 'feminization of love' have argued that heterosexual love has been feminized by a stress on emotional expressivity that masks 'masculine' love, with its greater emphasis on instrumental behaviors. Using survey data, this article examines the extent to which the feminization-of-love hypothesis can be extended to same-sex friendships. Data analyses revealed that women's friendships were more expressive than men's only when a…
Effects of National, School, and Gender Cultures on Friendships among Adolescents in Australia and the United States
Research conducted in Australia and the United States tested the proposition that national, school, and gender contexts shape friendship norms and experiences. American (vs. Australian) adolescents were found to prescribe both more closeness and more assertiveness in their same-sex friendships, adolescents in private (vs. Catholic and public) schools advocated more assertiveness but not more closeness, and girls (vs. boys) prescribed more closene…
What do Students Want: Expectations and Undergraduate Persistence
At the descriptive and theoretical levels, surprisingly little attention has been given to students' expectancies when they enter college. Using data from a longitudinal study, this article describes the expectancies of entering freshmen at a Midwestern state university; distinguishes expectancies from three other types of expectations—self-labels, attributed norms, and own norms; and investigates the extent to which all four types of expectation…
Effects of Peer, Faculty, and Parental Influences on Students' Persistence
The literatures on the social influence of referent others suggest four questions that need to be answered: (1) Who are the influential persons? (2) What types of influence are used? (3) What is the nature of the influence process? and (4) Are the effects of social influence substantial and independent of other forces? Data from a longitudinal study of the persistence in college of first-year undergraduates at a large, midwestern state university…
Norms, Preferences, Identities and Retention Decisions
Social psychologists have differed concerning the modes of thought that presumably generate decisions, and independent traditions of research have appeared concerning the effects of three separate thought modes: norms, preferences and self-referent identity labels. In prior research the authors have shown that these modes have independent effects on decisions and that the relative strengths of modal effects vary depending on the context studied. …

Adolescent Socialization in Cross-Cultural Perspective: Planning for Social Change
Social Influence, Self-Referent Identity Labels, and Behavior
Self-referent identity labels are frequently argued to be a central component of the self and to be important in the planning of conduct. Despite the attractiveness of this argument, relatively little research has yet appeared that supports it, and studies of the etiology and effects of self-referent labels often fail to control for the confounding effects of preferences, norms. or other conceptions that are known to affect conduct. In this paper…

Normative, Preferential, and Belief Modes in Adolescent Prejudice
The concept of attitude often subsumes normative, preferential, and belief components; some attitude scales are composed of items exhibiting two or more of these modalities. Beliefs may, in turn, be classified as reports, stereotypes, consequences, and intentions. This article shows that attitude questions in different modes have differing origins and implications, and that it is an error to continue to use an attitude concept and attitude scales…
