of our early work in this area examined the impact of identity development
on self-disclosure patterns and consequences of those differences in self-disclosure
on friendship development. More recently, we have been exploring gender
differences in friendships and romantic relationships and the consequences
of these differences for the success of the relationship and gender differences
in risk for depression. This work is informed by the research of Amanda
Rose. Most recently, we have been exploring gender differences in the way
friends respond to the advice that they are given when telling a friend
about a problem that they are having. |
