Preadolescent Peer Friendships: A Critical Contribution to Adult Social Relatedness?

Fullerton, Carol S.; Ursano, Robert J.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v23 n1 p43-63 Feb 1994

Literature on preadolescent friendships is reviewed to examine the relationship between preadolescent friendship and social support in adulthood. Present research is suggestive of the importance of preadolescent friendships in adult social relatedness, but it is not sufficient to validate the period as critical to social support in adulthood.
