Friends are crucial for companionship, sharing personal thoughts and feelings, and are positively associated with psychological well-being and mental health. This is one of the first studies to provide an in-depth investigation of social support networks of African American friendship. Using a nationally representative sample of African American adults drawn from the National Survey of American Life, this study investigated sociodemographic correlates, as well as expanded information on marital status and life circumstances of friendships. Additionally, we examined the interrelationships among several aspects of friendship. The findings indicate that, apart from income and region, all other correlates (i.e., age, gender, education, marital status, material hardship, military service, incarceration history, parental status, and urbanicity) were significantly associated with involvement in friendship support networks (i.e., subjective friendship closeness, frequency of contact with friends, frequency of receiving support from friends, and frequency of providing support to friends). Moreover, subjective closeness to friends was positively associated with friend contact, and both subjective closeness to and contact with friends were positively associated with supportive exchanges with friends. These findings indicate the importance of understanding the life circumstances and contexts within which friendships occur and the need for much more quantitative and qualitative research on African American friendships.
朋友对于陪伴、分享个人想法和感受至关重要,而且与心理健康和精神健康有着积极的联系。这是第一批深入调查非裔美国人友谊的社会支持网络的研究之一。本研究使用了从美国全国生活调查(National Survey of American Life)中抽取的具有全国代表性的非裔美国成年人样本,调查了社会人口学相关因素,以及有关婚姻状况和友谊生活环境的更多信息。此外,我们还研究了友谊的几个方面之间的相互关系。研究结果表明,除收入和地区外,所有其他相关因素(即年龄、性别、教育程度、婚姻状况、物质困难、服兵役、监禁史、父母身份和城市化程度)都与参与友谊支持网络(即主观友谊亲密程度、与朋友联系的频率、接受朋友支持的频率和向朋友提供支持的频率)有显著关联。此外,与朋友的主观亲密程度与与朋友的接触呈正相关,与朋友的主观亲密程度和与朋友的接触与与朋友的支持性交流呈正相关。这些研究结果表明,了解交友的生活环境和背景非常重要,需要对非裔美国人的交友进行更多的定量和定性研究。
