Rose, Amanda J. – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
A common belief is that talking about problems makes us feel better. In fact, seeking social support is related to well-being.

Co-rumination refers to talking excessively about…

Rose, Amanda J.; Smith, Rhiannon L.; Schwartz-Mette, Rebecca A.; Glick, Gary C. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Friendships are important sources of support during adolescence.

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Carlson, Wendy; Rose, Amanda J. – Journal of Adolescence, 2012
Whereas much research addresses relations of youths' heterosexual romantic relationships with sexual and/or delinquent activities, less attention has been paid to youths' more normative, day-to-day activities with romantic partners.

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Swenson, Lance P.; Rose, Amanda J. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2009
Some evidence suggests that close friends may be knowledgeable of youth's psychological adjustment. However, friends are understudied as reporters of adjustment. The current study examines associations between self- and friend-reports of internalizing and externalizing adjustment in a community sample of fifth-, eighth-, and eleventh-grade youth.…

How Girls and Boys Expect Disclosure about Problems Will Make Them Feel: Implications for Friendships
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rose, Amanda J.; Schwartz-Mette, Rebecca A.; Smith, Rhiannon L.; Asher, Steven R.; Swenson, Lance P.; Carlson, Wendy; Waller, Erika M. – Child Development, 2012
Although girls disclose to friends about problems more than boys, little is known about processes underlying this sex difference. Four studies (Ns = 526, 567, 769, 154) tested whether middle childhood to mid-adolescent girls and boys (ranging from 8 to 17 years old) differ in how they expect that talking about problems would make them feel. Girls…
