Kerner, Matthew; Aboud, Frances E.
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v7 n2 p117-25 Nov 1998
Examined the cross-racial validity of friendship qualities and the value of reciprocity in friendship with 40 white and black fifth graders in a multiracial elementary school. Found that reliable alliance was considered significantly more important as a friendship quality by black than by white students, with 10 qualities, including reciprocity, considered important by all students.
