The long-term impacts of failing to establish autonomy and relatedness within close friendships are poorly understood. Adolescent behaviors undermining autonomy and relatedness in friendships at 13 were examined as predictors of friendship competence at 18 and depressive symptoms and social withdrawal at 21. A diverse community sample of 184 adolescents participated in self, peer, and observational assessments. Teens' inability to establish autonomy and connection with friends at 13 predicted decreases in friendship competence at 18 (ß=-.20, =.02). Direct links to increases in depressive symptoms (ß=.34, <.001) and social withdrawal (ß=.18, =.03) were observed, with friendship competence partially mediating these relations. Results highlight the importance of problematic adolescent peer relationships as risk factors for the development of young adult internalizing symptoms.
未能在亲密友谊中建立自主性和亲密关系的长期影响,目前还知之甚少。研究了13岁时青少年在友谊中破坏自主性和亲密关系的行为,以此作为18岁时友谊能力、21岁时抑郁症状和社交退缩的预测指标。184名青少年组成的多样化社区样本参与了自我、同伴和观察评估。13岁时青少年无法与朋友建立自主性和联系,预示着18岁时友谊能力会下降(β = -0.20,p = 0.02)。研究观察到与抑郁症状增加(β = 0.34,p < 0.001)和社交退缩(β = 0.18,p = 0.03)存在直接关联,友谊能力在这些关系中起到部分中介作用。研究结果凸显了青少年同伴关系问题作为年轻成人内化症状发展风险因素的重要性。
