TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Adolescent friendships mediating childhood adversity and adult outcome JO - Journal of Adolescence A1 - Pawlby, S. J. A1 - Mills, A. A1 - Taylor, Alan A1 - Quinton, D. SP - 633 EP - 644 VL - 20 IS - 6 N2 - This interview-based study compares the friendships of 50 girls, aged 15-16, identified on the basis of their childhood experiences as being at-risk for difficulties in early adult partnerships, with the friendships of 50 girls of the same age from an inner-city school. Key differences in the features of both romantic and non-romantic adolescent friendships between the two groups of girls give a clearer understanding of the processes linking childhood adversity and poor adult outcome.
