The majority of research investigating the social functioning of youth with ADHD has examined peer rejection and social skills deficits while generally overlooking their friendships. The goal of this dissertation was to provide detailed information about friendship quality in adolescents with and without ADHD. The first manuscript compared ratings of social support and negative interactions in same- and other-sex friendship dyads in adolescents with and without ADHD, while examining the potentially moderating effects of age and gender. The second manuscript examined empirically supported correlates of friendship quality including friendship stability, co-morbid psychopathology, and interpersonal competence. A sample of 115 adolescents, ages 13-18, were recruited to participate in the present study of whom 61 were classified as having ADHD (21 female) and 54 without ADHD (29 female). The measures used included parent and self-report rating scales and questionnaires assessing ADHD symptoms, friendship quality, friendship stability, externalizing behaviour (conduct problems, oppositional behaviour), internalizing behaviour (anxiety, depression), and interpersonal competence (social skills, social perspective taking). Results from study one indicated that ratings of friendship social support diminished across age groups in youth with ADHD, but increased in typically developing youth. Adolescents with and without ADHD, however, did not differ on ratings of negative interactions experienced in their friendships. Compared to males, females rated their friendships to be more supportive, irrespective of ADHD status. Adolescents with and without ADHD rated their same-sex friendships to be simultaneously more supportive and more conflictual than their other-sex friendships. Results from study two indicated that friendship stability, social skills, social perspective-taking, oppositional behaviour, and anxiety explained unique variance in the prediction of friendship social support. However, results of exploratory mediation analyses indicated that the direct effects of oppositional behaviour and anxiety were no longer significantly predictive of friendship quality, after controlling for the mediators social skills and social perspective-taking, respectively. These findings, clinical implications, and future directions are discussed within the context of the existing peer relations literature.

The goal of this dissertation was to examine the friendships of adolescents with ADHD. In Study 1, I utilized quantitative methods to compare adolescents with and without ADHD with regard to friendship patterns at the level of markers (i.e., the presence of friendships, friendship quantity and stability, and characteristics of friends). In Study 2, I use a qualitative approach to investigate the meanings (i.e., subjective experience of friendship) and mechanisms (i.e., processes involved in forming and maintaining friendships) that may enhance or impair friendships of adolescents with ADHD. Moderators such as age and gender were considered in both studies. The sample for Study 1 comprised 107 adolescents, 13 to 18 years, 59 with ADHD (38 male, 21 female) and 48 comparison adolescents (22 male, 26 female). A subset of nine adolescents with ADHD, 16 to 18 years, participated in Study 2. The Adolescent Friendship Questionnaire (AFQ), Parent Friendship Questionnaire (PFQ), and a semi-structured interview were used. Results indicate that youth with ADHD typically develop at least one close friendship with same-age peers in adolescence. Adolescents with and without ADHD did not differ in the number of friends, the duration of close friendships, or the frequency of contact they have with their close friends. Adolescent girls with ADHD have fewer parent corroborated friendships than male adolescents with ADHD and teenagers without ADHD. According to parent report, adolescents with ADHD were more likely to have close friends with behaviour problems. When discussing their friendships, adolescents with ADHD described common experiences of social rejection, isolation, and victimization by peers, as well as problems establishing and maintaining friendships in childhood and early adolescence. They also recalled feeling embarrassed and emotionally distressed, and they perceived their unique challenges as uncontrollable, pervasive, and stigmatizing. Several adolescents with ADHD described becoming resigned to being friendless in adolescence. The transition to secondary school, however, seemed to facilitate friendship development with like-minded peers for adolescents with ADHD in this study. Findings are discussed within the context of the existing literature on the peer relationships of adolescents with ADHD. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.

First published in 2003. Children's Friendship Training is a complete manualized guide for therapists treating children with peer problems. This unique, empirically validated treatment is the first to integrate parents into the therapy process to ensure generalization to school and home. Representing over twelve years of research, Children's Friendship Training presents the comprehensive social skills training program developed by these pioneering authors. Step-by-step interventions help children develop the skills to initiate mutually satisfying social interactions. These interactions can lead to higher regard within the peer group and the development of satisfying dyadic relationships that will, in turn, serve to enhance overall well being. Clinical and empirical rationales, illustrative case examples and parent handouts that educate parents and give specific guidelines for homework assignments are presented for each treatment module. Brief relevant reviews of the child development literature and selective reviews of assessment techniques and other approached to children's social skills training are presented to sufficiently acquaint therapists interested in implementing children's friendship training.

This thoroughly revised new edition looks at the nature of social networks, their changing configurations, and the forces of influence they unleash in shaping the life experiences of young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years. The author draws on both social and psychological research to apply network thinking to the social relations of youth across the domains of school, work and society. Network thinking examines the pattern and nature of social ties, and analyses how networks channel information, influence and support with effects on a wide range of life experiences. The book comprises eleven chapters, which contain discussion on key topics, such as youth transitions, network analysis, friendship, romantic ties, peer victimization, antisocial behaviour, youth risk-taking, school motivation, career influence, youth citizenship, and community organizations for young people. Chapters contain discussions of practical ways in which schools can provide support, and suggestions for youth organizations on how to assist young people to become effective citizens.

Highly readable and comprehensive, this volume explores the significance of friendship for social, emotional, and cognitive development from early childhood through adolescence. The authors trace how friendships change as children age and what specific functions these relationships play in promoting adjustment and well-being. Compelling topics include the effects of individual differences on friendship quality, how friendship quality can be assessed, and ways in which certain friendships may promote negative outcomes. Examining what clinicians, educators, and parents can do to help children who struggle with making friends, the book reviews available interventions and identifies important directions for future work in the field.

This book introduces Parental Friendship Coaching (PFC), an intervention that parents can use to support peer relationships in their elementary school-aged children with ADHD. In the PFC program, clinicians work with parents to coach their children with ADHD in friendship behaviors that help develop and maintain high-quality relationships. Featuring 10 research-based clinical sessions, the book provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for clinicians about intervention provision. Each session includes skills teaching devoted to supporting children’s peer relationships, activities to practice the skills in session, problem-solving about difficulties carrying out the skills, and homework to try the skills at home. This book also includes handouts for parents and clinicians, tips for clinicians about addressing common parent difficulties, and suggestions for progress monitoring. Intended for mental health professionals working with families of children with ADHD and peer problems, this book will aid clinicians in educating parents on how to support their children’s friendship development.

This issue examines the specific role children's experience of friendship plays in their psychological adjustment, and shedding light on the neglected area of peer relations research. The authors discuss the theory and empirical work connecting friendship and adjustment that provides a firm foundation for peer relations research. The authors present the results of an eighteen-year study addressing the question of whether acceptance and friendship are unique or redundant predictors of adult adjustment and well-being. They address the peer relationship difficulties experienced by children suffering from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; and they examine the potential iatrogenic consequences in the treatment of groups targeting antisocial youth. This volume also offers an informative and provocative essay tracing the conceptual and historical foundations of research and discussing the recent rise of interest in the peer system. This is the 91st issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Developmnet.
