Patterns of Friendship.
Howes, Carollee
Child Development, v54 n4 p1041-53 Aug 1983
Compares patterns of friendship in infants, toddlers, and preschool children who attended either a child-care center or a program for emotionally disturbed children. Younger children had fewer and more stable friendships; emotionally disturbed children limited friendships to single partners. Complexity of social interaction increased most within stable friendship pairs. (Author/RH)
