Interdependent and disengaged friendships in a middle-class sample of suburban Israeli adolescents were examined for differences in reports of conflict behavior. A total of 194 (100 females, and 94 males) close, reciprocal friends participated in a joint problem-solving task used to categorize friendships. Interdependent friends balanced closeness and individuality by cooperating on the task, whereas disengaged friends emphasized individuality by working independently on the task. In separate interviews, these friends recounted their most important conflict from the previous week. Older adolescents (M = 17.4 years) reported more conflicts over private disrespect than did younger adolescents (M = 12.7 years), whereas younger adolescents reported more conflicts over public disrespect and undependability than did older adolescents. Differences between friendship types in conflict initiation, negative affect, and relationship impact were found among older adolescents but not younger adolescents; differences in conflict resolutions were found in both age groups. In contrast to disengaged friends, interdependent friends were better able to manage conflicts in a manner that emphasized relationship harmony over individual gain.
在以色列郊区一个中产阶级样本的青少年中，对相互依赖型和疏离型友谊在冲突行为报告方面的差异进行了研究。共有194对（100对女性朋友和94对男性朋友）亲密、相互的朋友参与了一项用于对友谊进行分类的联合解决问题任务。相互依赖型朋友通过在任务中合作来平衡亲密感和个性，而疏离型朋友则通过独立完成任务来强调个性。在单独的访谈中，这些朋友讲述了他们前一周最重要的冲突。年龄较大的青少年（平均年龄17.4岁）报告的因私人不尊重引发的冲突比年龄较小的青少年（平均年龄12.7岁）更多，而年龄较小的青少年报告的因公共不尊重和不可靠引发的冲突比年龄较大的青少年更多。在年龄较大的青少年中发现了友谊类型在冲突引发、负面影响和关系影响方面的差异，但在年龄较小的青少年中未发现；在两个年龄组中都发现了冲突解决方式的差异。与疏离型朋友相比，相互依赖型朋友更能以强调关系和谐而非个人利益的方式来处理冲突。
