“…Bir başka çalışmada Lansford, Criss, Pettit, Dodge ve Bates (2003) daha iyi arkadaşlık niteliğine ve akran gruplarına sahip olan gençlerin daha az problemli davranış sergileme eğilimine sahip olduklarına değinmiştir. Yine Hintikka, Koskela, Kontula, Koskela ve Viinamaeki (2000), Knickmeyer, Sexton ve Nishimura (2002) tarafından yapılan çalışmanın sonuçları arkadaşlık ilişkilerinin bireylerin iyilik halini artırdığını göstermektedir. Baril, Julien, Chartrand ve Dube (2009) göre, arkadaşlık sağlamış olduğu destekle, kronik stres ve zorlu yaşam olaylarına adaptasyonu kolaylaştırmaktadır.…”

“…Many studies have suggested that friendships heighten individual well-being (e.g., Hintikka, Koskela, Kontula, Koskela, & Viinamaeki, 2000;Knickmeyer, Sexton, & Nishimura, 2002). By providing support, friendship facilitates adaptation to difficult life events and chronic stress (e.g., Daley & Hammen, 2002).…”

Thirty-one couples and their daughters participated in a study of the contribution of family and friendship relationships in adolescence, and of daughter/friend communication in adulthood to the adult daughters' perception of friendship support in adulthood. Questionnaires and direct observation of communication skills were used to evaluate marital quality, parental quality, and friendship quality at Time 1 (T1). At Time 2 (T2), 7 years later, daughters and their best friends completed questionnaires and videotaped social support interactions. A hierarchical regression model was used to predict daughters' perception of friendship support in adulthood. The findings indicated that higher levels of T1 mother/father marital satisfaction, higher levels of T1 mother/daughter positive communication, lower levels of T1 mother/ daughter negative communication, and higher levels of T2 daughters' validation during communication with best friend uniquely predicted higher levels of T2 daughters' perception of friendship support. The findings suggest that family relationship quality in adolescence contributes to children's ability to develop and maintain adaptive resources for coping with stress in adulthood.

“…This approach provides a lens for researchers to understand female friendships through the personal meaning given to them by their participants and how this meaning is informed by personal, social, and cultural perspectives (Schaller 2002). Review of anthropological research demonstrates how contextual factors influence women's relationships and how these contextual factors change over time as social and cultural beliefs evolve (Knickmeyer et al 2002).…”

Recent research suggests that heterosexual and sexual minority women are more similar to each other in relationship development than they are to men who identify a similar sexual orientation (Diamond, L.M., 2008. Sexual fluidity: understanding women's love and desire. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; Glover, J.A., Galliher, R.V., and Lamere, T.G., 2009. Identity development and exploration among sexual minority adolescents: examination of a multidimensional model. Journal of homosexuality, 56, 77 -101). The current study adds to this literature by examining past and current passionate friendship experiences of a small sample of heterosexual and sexual minority young adult women through qualitative interviews. Passionate friendships represent a unique relationship category that blurs the lines between friendship and romantic relationship. Five content themes emerged regarding the formation, features, and function of passionate friendships. Implications for future research based on preliminary findings of similarities and differences within this small sample of heterosexual and sexual minority women's passionate friendships are discussed.
