The participants were 118 new students of junior high school (74 boys and 44 girls). A questionnaire package was administered at two weeks, four weeks, and three months after matriculation. At the first time of investigation, they were asked to choose a new friend they got acquainted upon matriculation, and to complete questionnaires that measured support receiving and giving in a friendship, stress responses, and relationship intimacy each time. For students whose relationship with a friend remained at a superficial level at three months after entering school, support receiving and giving in a friendship decreased over time. At either time of study, support reciprocity did not correlate significantly with stress responses, confirming the previous research results., 長崎大学教育学部紀要:教育科学, 76, pp.43-49; 2012}, pages = {43--49}, title = {A Longitudinal Study of the Relationship between Support Reciprocity and Mental Health (2):Focusing on the Early Stage of Friendship Development among Junior High School Students}, volume = {76}, year = {2012} }
