This study examined the association between 8 aspects of friend intimacy and 3 measures of psychosocial adjustment (self-esteem, deviant behavior, and purpose in life) among Hong Kong Chinese adolescents. The respondents were 289 students between 16 and 19 years of age from a cross-sectional study in Hong Kong. Bivariate correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed (a) friend intimacy was positively associated with self-esteem and purpose in life, and (b) friend intimacy was negatively correlated with deviant behavior. Results indicated that friend intimacy is an important variable that affects some aspects of psychosocial adjustment. Moreover, results of multiple regression analyses indicated that different measures of friend intimacy are related to deviant behavior and purpose in life. Therefore, it is crucial to study the relationship between different aspects of friend intimacy and different aspects of psychosocial adjustment among adolescents.
本研究考察了香港华裔青少年朋友亲密关系的8个方面与心理社会适应的3项指标（自尊、偏差行为和生活目的）之间的关联。受访者是来自香港一项横断面研究的289名16至19岁的学生。双变量相关分析和多元回归分析表明：（a）朋友亲密关系与自尊和生活目的呈正相关；（b）朋友亲密关系与偏差行为呈负相关。结果表明，朋友亲密关系是影响心理社会适应某些方面的一个重要变量。此外，多元回归分析结果表明，朋友亲密关系的不同指标与偏差行为和生活目的有关。因此，研究青少年朋友亲密关系的不同方面与心理社会适应的不同方面之间的关系至关重要。
