“…Both philosophers (Leibowitz, 2018;Nehamas, 2016) and psychologists (Apostolou, et al, 2020;Johnson, et al, 2011) argue about the nature of friendship. Many philosophical accounts of friendship follow from Aristotle's conception of friendship (Annas, 1988;Sherman 1987;Thomas, 1989).…”

Good friendships improve our lives. But philosophers, psychologists, and other social scientists disagree about the nature of friendship and the value of virtual friendships. Recent technological advances and global crises highlight the importance of answering the question: can virtual friendships be good? We argue against accounts of friendship that suggest virtual relationships are necessarily deficient, focusing on rejecting the requirements of physical proximity and complete authenticity for friendship. We propose a more inclusive account of friendship that focusses on positive intentions and experiences. We also discuss examples of virtual friendships that highlight their advantages in modern times, especially their ability to promote intercultural cohesion. Finally, we suggest implications to help guide individual and collective decisions about friendship in a way that improves wellbeing.

Friendship has been studied along centuries, since ancient times to present-day, as the basis of the social cornerstone, present at all stages of the lifespan and belonging to the world of truthful sentiments. Benefits of friendship on health have been demonstrated. Less is known about the role of friendship on seniors. The aim of this case study has been to show how the end friendship developed in an adults’ school operating for more than 40 years in Barcelona is having a positive impact on the well-being and health of their participants. Through the communicative discussion group, we have deepened in the trajectories of some of the school participants. The results show how participation in the school and the dialogic gatherings have contributed to the emergence of a non-instrumental friendship feeling and to consider an impact on the perceived general wellness and health and an improvement of their life quality. It is discussed how this research provides more elements to the existing literature. More research on how other communitarian environments have similar effects on this population, or on the impact of these dialogical spaces in the development of end friendships in other stages of the life cycle would be of interest.

“…As time passes, these components help build a foundation of service friendship (Gwinner, Gremler, & Bitner, 1998;Price & Arnould, 1999). Friendship contributes to an individual's own life value, which directly influences happiness and creates a stronger sense of self-worth when one knows they are valued by others (Leibowitz, 2018).…”

“…In addition, customers who don't have personal relationships with employees are not typically as satisfied as those customers who develop personal relationships with a particular employee (Gutek, Bhappu, Liao-Troth, & Cherry, 1999). Friendship adds to a person's sense of own selfworth, therefore contributing to happiness in both individuals in a friendly relationship (Leibowitz, 2018). The importance of friendly employees cannot be undermined.…”
