Friendship in Childhood
View through CrossRef
Children's friendships are special dyadic relationships based on mutual liking and affection. Friendships are developmental contexts, providing a setting for socialization to occur. Friends serve a number of functions for children: They contribute to one another's social, emotional, and cognitive development as well as to their adjustment and well‐being in both the short term and the long term. The multidimensional nature of friendships in childhood means that, when evaluating the developmental significance of friendships, researchers must take into account children's participation in friendships, including the stability and number of friends; the quality of their friendships; and the characteristics of the children themselves and of their friends.
