Parent^child antecedents of 5-year-olds' close friendships: A longitudinal analysis.

Youngblade, Lise M., Belsky, Jay·1992·Developmental Psychology

Abstract

A longitudinal study of 73 families was extended to examine links between early parent-child relationships measured at 1 (in the Strange Situation) and 3 (in a laboratory observation) years and the target child's relationship with a close friend at 5 years of age (in a laboratory observation). Path analysis was used to test developmental models of parent-child antecedents of dyadic positive and negative friendship behavior
