This study examined development of emotional support competence within close friendships across adolescence. A sample of 184 adolescents (53% girls, 47% boys; 58% White, 29% Black, 14% other identity groups) participated in seven waves of multimethod assessments with their best friends and romantic partners from age 13 to 24. Latent change score models identified coupled predictions over time from emotional support competence to increasing friendship quality and decreasing support received from friends. Friend-rated emotional support competence in adolescence predicted supportiveness in adult romantic relationships, over and above supportiveness in adolescent romantic relationships. Teen friendships may set the stage for developing emotional support capacities that progress across time and relationships into adulthood.
本研究考察了青少年时期亲密友谊中情感支持能力的发展。研究样本包括 184 名青少年（53%为女生，47%为男生；58%为白人，29%为黑人，14%为其他身份群体），他们从 13 岁到 24 岁与最好的朋友和浪漫伴侣进行了七次多方法评估。潜在变化分数模型确定了从情感支持能力到友谊质量提高和从朋友那里获得的支持减少的时间上的耦合预测。青少年时期朋友评定的情感支持能力预测了成年浪漫关系中的支持度，超过了青少年浪漫关系中的支持度。青少年友谊可能为发展情感支持能力奠定基础，这些能力会随着时间和关系的发展而进入成年期。
