1	Aggression and prosocial behavior predict changes in perceptions of friendship quality in primary and middle school students Unknown Date (has links) This study examines whether aggression and prosocial behavior shape changes in perceptions of friendship quality within stable reciprocal best friend dyads. A longitudinal Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to investigate whether individual characteristics predict changes 6 to 12 weeks later in perceptions of relationship support and negativity. The sample included 76 same-sex dyads drawn from classrooms in grades 4 (M = 9.48 years) through 6 (M= 11.43 years) in two public schools in the United States. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection Friendship in adolescence Friendship in children Interaction analysis in education Interpersonal relations in adolescence Interpersonal relations in children Social perceptions in adolescence Social perceptions in children Social psychology
