Descrição
Resumo:This article describes a study of existing relations between friendship characteristics of young adults and their coping resources and strategies. The participants of this study were 98 young adults, aged 18 to 30 years (M=23.01; SD=6.57), 45.9% man. The sampling was based on the Respondent Driven Sampling technique. A self-assessment questionnaire composed of socio-demographics and three self-report scales (concerning friendship relationships, coping strategies and social support perception) were administered. Confrontive and positive reappraisal coping were positively correlated with friendships toward female friends. Self-controlling was correlated positively with male friends. Friendship qualities showed a positive correlation with perceived social support. The higher the quality of the friendships, the more friends are able to provide coping resources.
