Emotion Talk and Friend Responses Among Early Adolescent Same‐sex Friend Dyads
To better understand early adolescent emotion talk within close same‐sex friendships, this observational study examined emotion talk, as measured by emotion term use, in relation to friend supportive and dismissive responses to such terms among 116 adolescents (58 friend dyads) in G rades 7–8 (56.9% female, M = 13.08, SD = .61). Partial intra‐class correlation coefficients derived by using actor partner interdependence models revealed similaritie…
Social Anxiety and Adolescents’ Friendships: The Role of Social Withdrawal
Research indicates social anxiety is associated with lower friendship quality, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. This 2-month longitudinal study examined social withdrawal as a mediator of the social anxiety–friendship quality link in a sample of 214 adolescents ( M age = 13.1 years, SD = .73) that included an oversampling of adolescents recently relocated to the community ( n = 155). Findings provided preliminary support for t…
