Despite decades of research on adolescent friendships, little is known about adolescents who are more likely to form ties outside of school. We examine multiple social and ecological contexts including parents, the school, social networks, and the neighborhood to understand the origins and health significance of out of school ties using survey data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 81,674). Findings indicate that out of school (more than in-school) friendships drive adolescent deviance and alcohol use, and youth with such friends tend to be involved in school activities and are central among their peer group. This suggests that intervention efforts aimed at reducing deviance and underage drinking may benefit from engaging youth with spanning social ties.
尽管对青少年友谊进行了数十年的研究，但对于更有可能在校外建立联系的青少年却知之甚少。我们研究了包括父母、学校、社交网络和社区在内的多个社会和生态环境，利用来自国家青少年至成年健康纵向研究（N = 81674）的调查数据，了解校外关系的起源和健康意义。研究结果表明，校外（多于校内）友谊会促使青少年产生偏差行为和酗酒，而拥有这种朋友的年轻人往往会参与学校活动，并且是他们同龄人群体的核心。这表明，旨在减少偏差行为和未成年饮酒的干预措施可能会受益于与具有跨越社交关系的年轻人接触。
