Collins, W. Andrew; Hennighausen, Katherine C.; Schmit, David Taylor; Sroufe, L. Alan
New Directions for Child Development, n78 p69-84 Win 1997
Presents evidence that differences among adolescents' behavior in romantic relationships are imbedded in both earlier and concurrent relationship experiences that foster a capacity for intimacy. Summarizes a 20-year longitudinal study based on this view, with particular attention to links between relationships with parents and interactions with peers prior to adolescence that set the stage for close relationships during adolescence.
