The participants were 127 elementary, 216 junior high, and 262 high school students in Japan. They provided names of their three close friends and were asked about the exchange of support with each friend, in addition to responding to a stress response scale. The results indicated that the support reciprocity of the best friend and the second best friend, and the total support reciprocity of all the three close friends had a significant quadratic relationship to stress responses among the high school students., 長崎大学教育学部紀要. 教育科学 Vol.74, pp.17-23; 2010}, pages = {17--23}, title = {Support Reciprocity and Stress Responses among Children: From the Viewpoint of Developmental Change in Friendships}, volume = {74}, year = {2010} }
