Autonomy and Relatedness • Related to range of positive adolescent outcomes: – High self esteem – Ego development – Attachment security – Lack of depressive symptoms – Closer friendships, higher social acceptance – Highly correlated, combination is most important
Peer Relationships in Adolescence
Overarching Question • What are the long-term consequences of failing to establish autonomy and relatedness in early adolescent close friendships?
Depression and Peer Relationships • Depression linked to broad markers of problematic peer relationships: – Peer rejection – Lack of popularity – Lack of interpersonal support • Undermining relatedness with peers linked with increases in depressive symptoms over short term in early adolescence
Social Withdrawal and Peer Relationships • Peer difficulties also related to child and adolescent social withdrawal • Social withdrawal show powerful links to longterm psychological and health outcomes – Loneliness – Cardiovascular disease – Earl mortality
Intervening experiences? • Social support found to mediate the link between stress and depressive affect • Friendship quantity and quality found to mediate the link between peer acceptance and loneliness and depression
Research questions • How does a lack of autonomy and connection predict close friendship abilities in late adolescence? • How does a lack of autonomy and connection predict depression and social withdrawal in young adulthood? • Does close friendship competence mediate the expected long-term predictions to depressive symptoms and social withdrawal?
Sample • 184 Adolescents, and their closest peer • Intensive Interviews and Observations with all parties • Assessed Annually, utilizing Ages 13, 18, and 21 • Equal numbers of Males and Females • Socio-economically Diverse (Median Family Income= $40 - $60 K) • Racially Diverse (31% African American; 69% European American) • Very low Attrition
Research questions • How does a lack of autonomy and connection predict close friendship abilities in late adolescence? • How does a lack of autonomy and connection predict depression and social withdrawal in young adulthood? • Does close friendship competence mediate the expected long-term predictions to depressive symptoms and social withdrawal?
Observed Autonomy and Relatedness • 8 -min disagreement task with close peer • Hypothetical dilemma, try to come to a consensus • Coded using Autonomy and Relatedness Coding System for Peer Interactions (Allen et al. , 2001) • Combined scale for behaviors undermining autonomy and connection with close peer: – Avoiding conflict – Overpersonalizing the disagreement – Pressuring – Interruptions/ignoring – Hostility
Close Friendship Competence • Close peers reported on teens’ close friendship competence using the Harter Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (Harter, 1988) • Two contrasting descriptors, rate the extent to which choice is sort of true or really true about teen • “Some people don’t have a friend that is close enough to share really personal thoughts and feelings with/some people do have a friend that is close enough to share personal thoughts and feelings with. ”

Depressive Symptoms • Teens self reported on their depressive symptoms using: – the Childhood Depression Inventory at age 13 (Kovacs & Beck, 1977) – The Beck Depression Inventory at age 21 (Beck & Steer, 1987)
Social Withdrawal • Age 13: Closest peer rated teens’ social withdrawal using the Pupil Evaluation Inventory (Pekarik et al. , 1976) – “S/he often doesn’t want to hang out or do things with other kids” • Age 21: social withdrawal assessed using closest friend ratings on the Adult Behavior Checklist (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2003). – “S/he would rather be alone than with others”

Summary so far • Lack of autonomy and connection with close peers in early adolescence predicts: – Increased difficulties in close friendships in late adolescence – Increased depressive symptoms in young adulthood – Increased socially withdrawn behaviors in young adulthood
Research questions • How does a lack of autonomy and connection relate to close friendship abilities in late adolescence? • How does a lack of autonomy and connection relate to depression and social withdrawal in young adulthood? • Does close friendship competence mediate the expected long-term predictions to depressive symptoms and social withdrawal?

Limitations • Data are non-causal • Community-based sample, not at-risk for high levels of psychopathology • More research into adulthood is needed
Conclusions • Critical developmental processes show implications for functioning 8 years later • Some continuity in early to late adolescent friendship abilities • Support a stress generation hypothesis of depression (Hammen, 1991)
Conclusions • Partial mediation for depression, less so for social withdrawal • If causal links are supported, may be able to inform psychosocial interventions
