Friendships foster better conflict resolution and richer language use in children. This study highlights how emotional bonds in friendships support children's development of communication skills.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Interaction

Background:

  • Friendships are characterized by emotional investment and mutuality.
  • These unique qualities may influence conflict dynamics and language development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare conflict resolution and language use between friends and nonfriends in kindergarten dyads.
  • To test a process model linking temperament, interactions, conflict resolution, and language use.

Main Methods:

  • Kindergarten children were observed in friend and nonfriend dyads throughout the school year.
  • Data collected on conflict occurrences, resolutions, and the use of emotional and literate language.

Main Results:

  • Conflict rates were similar between friends and nonfriends.

  • Friends, however, resolved conflicts more frequently and used more emotional and literate language.
  • The proposed process model for literate language development was supported.

    • Conclusions:

    • The unique characteristics of friendships facilitate more constructive conflict resolution and advanced language skills in children.
    • Temperament plays a role in the interactional pathways leading to language development.
