Friendships matter for withdrawn youth because the consequences of peer isolation are severe. From a normative sample of 2,437 fifth graders (1,245 females; M age = 10.25), a subset (n = 1,364; 638 female) was classified into 3 groups (anxious-solitary, unsociable, comparison) and followed across a school year. Findings indicated that it was more common for unsociable than anxious-solitary children to have friends, be stably friended, and participate in multiple friendships. For withdrawn as well as nonwithdrawn children, peer rejection predicted friendlessness, but this relation was strongest for anxious-solitary children. The friends of unsociable youth were more accepted by peers than those of anxious-solitary youth. The premise that friendship inhibits peer victimization was substantiated for withdrawn as well as nonwithdrawn youth.
友谊对孤僻的年轻人很重要，因为被同伴孤立的后果很严重。从一个由 2437 名五年级学生组成的规范样本（1245 名女生；平均年龄=10.25）中，选择了一个子集（n=1364；638 名女生），将其分为 3 组（焦虑型孤独、不合群、比较），并在一学年内进行跟踪。研究结果表明，不合群的孩子比焦虑型孤独的孩子更容易有朋友，并且他们的朋友关系更稳定，参与的友谊也更多。对于孤僻和非孤僻的孩子来说，同伴的拒绝都预示着他们没有朋友，但对于焦虑型孤独的孩子来说，这种关系最强。不合群孩子的朋友比焦虑型孤独孩子的朋友更受同伴欢迎。友谊可以抑制同伴受害这一前提，对于孤僻和非孤僻的孩子都适用。
