Judgment Biases and Characteristics of Friendships of Mexican American and Anglo-American Girls and Boys.

Bradley, Lorena A.; Flannagan, Dorothy; Fuhrman, Robert

Journal of Early Adolescence, v21 n4 p405-24 Nov 2001

Investigated gender and ethnic patterns in friendship qualities among Anglo-American and Mexican American early adolescents. Found that girls, but not boys, rated friends' behaviors as more positive than similar behaviors of unfamiliar peers and reported higher attachment and support in their friendships. Found rating patterns similar for Anglo-American and Mexican American students. (Author/KB)
