Research on adolescence has previously shown that factors like depression and burnout are influenced by friendship groups. Little research, however, has considered whether similar effects are present for variables such as hope and subjective well-being. Furthermore, there is no research that considers whether the degree of hope of an adolescent's friends is associated with well-being over the individual's level of hope. Data were collected in 2012 from a sample of 15-year-olds (N = 1,972; 62% Caucasian; 46% identified as Catholic; 25% had professional parents) from the East Coast of Australia. Findings suggest that individuals from the same friendship group were somewhat similar in hope and well-being. Multilevel structural equation modeling indicated that friendship group hope was significantly related to psychological and social well-being.
先前关于青少年的研究表明，诸如抑郁和倦怠等因素会受到朋友圈子的影响。然而，很少有研究考虑过希望和主观幸福感等变量是否也存在类似影响。此外，没有研究考虑过青少年朋友的希望程度是否与个体幸福感相关，而不仅仅是个体自身的希望水平。2012年，研究人员从澳大利亚东海岸的15岁青少年样本（N = 1972；62%为白种人；46%为天主教徒；25%的父母为专业人士）中收集了数据。研究结果表明，来自同一朋友圈子的个体在希望和幸福感方面存在一定程度的相似性。多层次结构方程模型表明，朋友圈子的希望与心理和社会幸福感显著相关。
