“…Sport activities may provide a stronger social context than substance use in itself. It should be noted that previous network studies that take into account broader social contexts have demonstrated that social processes of selection and influence are governed by social structural conditions under which an individual makes a choice in social relations (Cheadle & Schwadel, 2012;Cheadle et al, 2013;de Klepper et al, 2010;Martin-Storey et al, 2015).…”

We examined social mechanisms that account for similarity in the social context of school-sponsored extracurricular sports activities among friends. We distinguish two social mechanisms: “shared sports activities that lead to friendship,” whereby friendship formation and maintenance are conditioned by joint sports participation, and “friendship that leads to shared sports activities,” a form of social influence whereby adolescents join or maintain certain sports activities based on their friends' choices. Using a longitudinal sample of 1,776 10th graders at five high schools in Southern California, we employed a stochastic actor-oriented multivariate dynamic model to model the dynamic interplay between the two-mode affiliation network of adolescents' participation in sports activities and the one-mode friendship network. As a corresponding descriptive method, we propose a quantitative measure for the relative strength of the two-mentioned mechanisms as explanations of the association between the one-mode and the two-mode network. Further, we introduce two specifications that represent homophily effects in the two-mode network and apply them to test gender homophily in sports participation. The results provide strong evidence for both mechanisms, with friendship leading to shared sport activities as stronger than shared sports activities leading to friendships in explaining adolescents' friendships with co-participants.

“…that persist even in the absence of direct individual-level peer victimization" (p. 316). In addition, Crosnoe (2011) describes factors other than victimization, such as negative impacts of not fitting into adolescent social structures (which are largely formed by schools), and Martin-Storey, Cheadle, Skalamera, and Crosnoe (2015) cite stigmatization of sexual minority youth as contributing to challenges facing LGBTQIA youth.…”

As a teacher educator, I work closely with preservice teachers and also with in-service teachers working in public schools. All of these dedicated instructors would state that they want students to feel comfortable and safe in school. Most teachers believe that schools are for everyone and all students deserve the opportunity to learn. We want all students to have caring and respectful relationships with other students and with school staff. However, not all students are having the experiences that teachers hope for them. Specifically, students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) 1 report feeling less safe, less respected, and less valued in our schools than do their heterosexual and cisgender peers, leading to lower engagement and achievement (Kosciw, Gretak,

“…This strategy enabled us to understand how adolescents are perceived by their peers more objectively than self‐report measures. However, being named as a friend is not the only component of peer relationships that indicates social integration, as Martin‐Storey et al (2015) discuss. In the future, researchers may consider how the quality of relationships and structure of friendship networks change as adolescents navigate their coming‐out processes.…”

This research examined associations between dating and number of friends for rural adolescents with same‐sex and other‐sex dating partners using longitudinal sociometric data (N = 2826; 55% female, 87% White, mean age = 14 at baseline). In multilevel models assessing within‐person change, boys gained female friends when they were in same‐sex romantic relationships, compared to when they were single. In contrast, girls in same‐sex relationships lost female friends and gained male friends. Adolescents in other‐sex romantic relationships gained same‐sex friends compared to when they were single. Results advance understanding of adolescent social and sexual development, suggesting that sexual minority adolescents find allies when dating but may struggle to maintain same‐sex friendships.
