Children's vulnerability to jealousy surrounding their best friends was explored in 2 studies. Study 1 involved 94 adolescents who reported on their friendship jealousy on a newly created measure. Results indicated that the jealousy measure had sound psychometric properties and produced individual differences that were robust over time and free from socially desirable responding. As expected, girls and adolescents with low self-worth reported the greatest friendship jealousy. Study 2 involved 399 young adolescents and extended the measurement of self-report jealousy to a broader age range. In addition, Study 2 included assessments of jealousy provided by friends and other peers. Self- and peer-reported jealousy were only modestly associated and had somewhat distinct correlates. Structural modeling revealed that young adolescents' reputation for friendship jealousy was linked to behaving aggressively and to broader peer adjustment difficulties. Both self- and peer-reported jealousy contributed to loneliness.
两项研究探讨了儿童围绕其最好的朋友产生嫉妒心理的易感性。研究1涉及94名青少年，他们通过一项新创建的量表报告自己的友谊嫉妒情况。结果表明，该嫉妒量表具有良好的心理测量特性，所产生的个体差异随时间推移较为稳定，且不存在社会期望性反应。正如预期的那样，自尊心较低的女孩和青少年报告的友谊嫉妒程度最高。研究2涉及399名青少年，并将自我报告嫉妒的测量范围扩展到更广泛的年龄范围。此外，研究2还包括了朋友和其他同龄人对嫉妒情况的评估。自我报告的嫉妒和同龄人报告的嫉妒之间只是适度相关，且有一些不同的相关因素。结构模型显示，青少年友谊嫉妒的名声与攻击性行为以及更广泛的同伴适应困难有关。自我报告和同龄人报告的嫉妒都导致了孤独感。
