Forming, Losing, Renewing, and Replacing Friendships: Applying Temporal Parameters to the Assessment of Children's Friendship Experiences.
Parker, Jeffrey G.; Seal, John
Child Development, v67 n5 p2248-68 Oct 1996
Examined friendship formation and dissolution among 216 children, ages 8-15 years, over the course of a residential summer camp experience. Analyses suggested that friendship formation and duration were coherent, independent dimensions of individual differences and distinct from the overall extensivity of involvement in friendships.
