Prior research examining maintenance in cross-sex friendships focuses heavily on platonic (i.e., nonsexually active) friendships with limited research examining sexually involved cross-sex friendships (i.e., "friends with benefits relationships"). In this study, we investigated differences in relational maintenance behaviors between sexually and nonsexually active cross-sex friendships types. In an online survey, 531 emerging adult participants from large southwestern and southeastern universities identified either a friends with benefits or platonic opposite sex friendship and then completed items asking them to report the frequency with which they enacted each of 36 relationship maintenance behaviors. Overall, participants involved in casual sex friendships engaged in the least, and those who transitioned from a friends-with-benefits relationship to a romantic relationship engaged in the most frequent relationship maintenance. Platonic friendships employed more frequent maintenance than casual-sex friendships but less than either true friends with benefits or participants who transitioned to a romantic relationship.
先前关于跨性别友谊维持的研究主要集中在柏拉图式（即无性互动）友谊上，而对涉及性的跨性别友谊（即“友达以上关系”）的研究有限。在本研究中，我们调查了有性和无性跨性别友谊类型在关系维持行为上的差异。在一项在线调查中，来自西南部和东南部大型大学的531名新兴成年参与者确定了一种友达以上或柏拉图式的异性友谊，然后完成了一些项目，要求他们报告自己实施36种关系维持行为中每种行为的频率。总体而言，参与随意性行为友谊的参与者实施关系维持行为的频率最低，而那些从友达以上关系转变为浪漫关系的参与者实施关系维持行为的频率最高。柏拉图式友谊实施关系维持行为的频率高于随意性行为友谊，但低于真正的友达以上关系或转变为浪漫关系的参与者。
