Similarity and Reciprocity in the Friendships of Elementary School Children.
Clark, M. L.; Drewry, Debra L.
Child Study Journal, v15 n4 p251-64 1985
Investigated the effect of similarity and reciprocity on dyadic friendship choices in third- and sixth-grade students. Reciprocal (mutual) friendships were more similar in proximity, popularity, and self-concept than those in nonreciprocal (nonmutual) dyads. Results are discussed in relation to the interpersonal attraction theories. (Author/DST)
