Abstract

Friendships frequently dissolve in early adolescence, but youth may continue to encounter ex-friends in their daily lives. The current study aimed to examine how adolescents’ reactions to friendship dissolutions were associated with continued exposure to the former friend both in school and online via social media. Participants were 354 middle school students (Mage = 11.89 years, SD = .86) from the northeast United States who self-reported their experiences following a friendship dissolution. Results indicate that higher frequency of seeing a former friend in school is associated with increased intensity of positive reactions and decreased duration of negative reactions. Greater frequency of seeing the former friend online, however, is associated with increased intensity and duration of negative reactions following the dissolution, as well as decreased intensity of positive reactions. We interpret the current findings through the lens of the transformation framework, which suggests that the online context transforms and intensifies negative peer experiences.

青少年时期没有朋友：在学校和网上继续与以前的朋友接触的相关性

友谊往往在青春期早期就消失了，但年轻人在日常生活中可能会继续遇到以前的朋友。目前的研究旨在研究青少年对友谊破裂的反应与在学校和社交媒体上持续接触前朋友之间的关系。参与者是来自美国东北部的354名中学生(年龄= 11.89岁，SD = .86)，他们自我报告了友谊破裂后的经历。结果表明，在学校见到前朋友的频率越高，积极反应的强度越大，消极反应的持续时间越短。然而，在网上看到前朋友的频率越高，分手后负面反应的强度和持续时间越长，积极反应的强度越低。我们通过转换框架来解释当前的研究结果，该框架表明，在线环境转换并加剧了消极的同伴体验。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
