Seginer, Rachel; Shoyer, Shirli; Hossessi, Rabiaa; Tannous, Hyam – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2007
Peer relations are perceived to be more strongly related to family relationships for Israeli Arab and Druze adolescents than for Israeli Jewish adolescents growing up in a neighboring but socioculturally different society. However, when family relations are poor, Jewish adolescents draw greater support from peers than do Arab and Druze adolescents.
