Adolescent social learning within supportive friendships: Self‐disclosure and relationship quality from adolescence to adulthood
Open accessAbstract
This study examines links between self‐disclosure and relationship quality with close friends from adolescence to adulthood. A diverse community sample of adolescents (N = 184) participated in survey and observational measures annually from ages 13 through 29, along with their close friends and romantic partners. Random intercept cross‐lagged panel modeling (RICLPM) was used to parse markers of within‐individual change from age 13 to 18. Long‐term longitudinal path models also investigated cascading associations among self‐disclosure and relationship quality, on aggregate, from adolescence to adulthood. Adolescents who reported a higher‐quality friendship in a given year demonstrated greater‐than‐expected increases in self‐disclosure the following year, and an adolescent demonstrated high self‐disclosure one year reported greater‐than‐expected increases in friendship quality the following year. Higher mean self‐disclosure in adolescence predicted higher mean self‐disclosure in adulthood. Results are interpreted as identifying high‐quality adolescent friendships as key contexts for developing intimacy‐building capacities (i.e. self‐disclosure), which sets the stage for satisfying close relationships in adulthood.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
