Rose, Amanda J.; Smith, Rhiannon L.; Schwartz-Mette, Rebecca A.; Glick, Gary C. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Friendships are important sources of support during adolescence.

Still, previous research had not examined the types of problems…

Rose, Amanda J.; Schwartz-Mette, Rebecca A.; Smith, Rhiannon L.; Asher, Steven R.; Swenson, Lance P.; Carlson, Wendy; Waller, Erika M. – Child Development, 2012
Although girls disclose to friends about problems more than boys, little is known about processes underlying this sex difference. Four studies (Ns = 526, 567, 769, 154) tested whether middle childhood to mid-adolescent girls and boys (ranging from 8 to 17 years old) differ in how they expect that talking about problems would make them feel. Girls…
