Age and Gender Dimensions of Friendship.

Fox, Margery; And Others

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v9 n4 p489-501 Dec 1985

An in-depth interview format was used to explore gender and age differences in friendship patterns. Groups described friendship in superficially similar ways. However, in the taped interviews, large gender differences appeared that followed conceptually along instrumental/expressive dimensions. Age differences also appeared. (Author/ABB)
