“…We have shown previously that neighborhood friendships remain relevant due to reasons most friendships are, which in this case, highlights the importance of relational qualities of support, closeness, and history of relations. While support and closeness as aspects of friendship are often mentioned in literature on friendship, literature on the importance of the history of relations are less so (Poulin & Chan, 2010 ; Sherman et al, 2000 ; Steinhoff & Keller, 2020 ). Thus, we were intrigued to examine this feature in further detail, as it remained rather unclear.…”

“My Neighbor, My Friend": The Relevance of Support, Closeness, and History of Relations in Neighborhood Friendship

Friendship is a common and essential social relationship in daily life. Various works of literature have described friendship including how it is experienced in various contexts, yet limited studies have focused on the neighborhood context. This study aimed to investigate the relevance of neighborhood friendship and the characteristics of friendship that make it still relevant, especially in Indonesia. This study was conducted in two phases: 1) an online survey with an open-ended questionnaire and 2) in-depth interviews. A total of 222 participants completed the questionnaire and among those, 15 participants were interviewed to further understand the relevance of neighborhood friendship based on the emerging themes from the open-ended responses. This study found that neighborhood friendship is still relevant despite physical distance. Those relevancies are perceived in the three main characteristics of friendship: support, closeness, and history of relations. This study also found that the essence of friendship is not only discussed in a romantic view which highlights intimacy and closeness, but also in an instrumental view. However, support as an instrumental process may indicate the expressions of closeness, especially in close friendships. Furthermore, this study also suggests that although proximity characterized by physical interaction is crucial in the formation and maintenance of neighborhood friendship, physical distance and social mobility did not dissolve the relationship, due to the history of relations. In the neighborhood context, the history of relations bond people to a certain place and the social relationship formed in that particular place, stimulating certain feelings of belonging which encourage the maintenance of neighborhood friendship.

“…Further details on attrition can be found elsewhere (Eisner et al, 2019;Quednow et al, 2021). Such attrition patterns are common in long-term longitudinal research (e.g., Gustavson et al, 2012;Sigurdson et al, 2014;Steinhoff and Keller, 2020). Our handling of missing data is described in the ''Analytic Strategy'' section.…”

Polysubstance use (i.e., simultaneous or sequential use of different psychoactive substances) is associated with increases in the risk of severe health problems and social impairments. The present study leverages community-representative, long-term longitudinal data from an urban cohort to assess: (a) the prevalence and continuation of polysubstance use between adolescence and early adulthood; (b) different patterns of polysubstance use (i.e., combinations of substances) in early adulthood; and (c) childhood risk factors for polysubstance use in early adulthood. At age 20 (n = 1,180), respondents provided comprehensive self-reported information on past-year substance use, including use of legal and illicit substances (e.g., cannabinoids, stimulants, and hallucinogens), and nonmedical use of prescription drugs (e.g., opioids, tranquilizers). In adolescence (ages 13–17), limited versions of this questionnaire were administered. In childhood (ages 7–11), potential risk factors, including individual-level factors (e.g., sensation-seeking, low self-control, aggression, and internalizing symptoms) and social-environmental factors (e.g., social stressors, exposure to others’ substance use), were assessed. We fitted latent class models to identify classes of participants with different substance use profiles in early adulthood. The results show that polysubstance use increased between early adolescence and early adulthood. The continuation of polysubstance use was common (stability between all adjacent assessments: odds ratio >7). At age 20, more than one-third of participants reported polysubstance use (involving illicit substances, nonmedical use of prescription drugs, and cannabidiol). Four latent classes with polysubstance use were identified: (1) broad spectrum of substances; (2) cannabis and club drugs; (3) cannabis and the nonmedical use of prescription drugs; and (4) different cannabinoids. Risk factors for any polysubstance use included childhood sensation-seeking and exposure to others’ substance use; some childhood risk factors were differentially associated with the four classes (e.g., low self-control in childhood was associated with an increased likelihood of being in the broad spectrum class). The classes also differed with regard to socio-demographic factors. This study revealed that polysubstance use is a widespread and multifaceted phenomenon that typically emerges during adolescence. To facilitate the design of tailored prevention mechanisms, the heterogeneity of polysubstance use and respective socio-demographic and developmental precursors need to be considered.

“…Sympathy is assumed to be an important prerequisite for creating emotional intimacy in friendships (Selman, 1980). The deep recognition, knowledge, and understanding of another’s feelings, motives, and needs that come with increasing cognitive and emotional capability impact mutual disclosure and lead to more mature and intimate friendships (Selman, 1980; Steinhoff & Keller, 2020). Sympathy is also assumed to have a motivational impact on the formation of close friendships (Hastings, Utendale, & Sullivan, 2008).…”

“…Since sympathy has both cognitive and emotional components, this finding supports the assumption that sympathy may be especially relevant for the development of friendship intimacy. Longitudinal evidence suggests that adolescent socio‐moral sensitivity (i.e., perspective‐taking, interpersonal understanding, and sense of responsibility for others) and empathy affect friendship intimacy and social competence in adulthood (Allemand et al, 2015; Steinhoff & Keller, 2020). Additionally, a comparison of cohorts in the COCON study indicated that moral motivation (which is related to sympathy) was associated with dyadic friendship quality (i.e., help, guidance, and intimate exchange) in 21‐year‐olds (but not in 15‐year‐olds; Malti & Buchmann, 2010).…”

Sympathy is regarded as an important precursor to the development of emotional intimacy, including mutual disclosure. In turn, emotional intimacy is assumed to foster the development of sympathy. Yet, research has not examined how sympathy and mutual disclosure in generic friendships are mutually related to one another during mid‐adolescence to early adulthood. Data came from three waves of the Swiss Survey of Children and Youth (COCON; N = 1,258). Bidirectional links between sympathy and mutual disclosure were tested with autoregressive cross‐lagged panel analyses. Sympathy at age 15 was associated with mutual disclosure in friendships at 18, which in turn was associated with sympathy at 21. Multi‐group models suggested that our model better describes these processes in females than in males.
