Adolescent success providing satisfying support in response to a close friend's call in a caregiving task was examined as a potentially fundamental developmental competence likely to predict future social functioning, adult caregiving security, and physical health. Adolescents (86 males, 98 females; 58% White, 29% African American, 8% mixed race/ethnicity, 5% other) were followed from ages 13 to 33 (1998–2021) using multiple methods and reporters. Early caregiving success was found to predict greater self- and partner-reported caregiving security, lower negativity in adult relationships, and higher adult vagal tone. Results are interpreted as advancing our understanding beyond simply recognizing that adolescent friendships have long-term import, to now identifying specific capacities within friendships that are linked to longer-term outcomes.

青少年护理成功与否可作为 13 至 33 岁社会功能的预测指标


青少年成功地在护理任务中响应密友的召唤而提供令人满意的支持被视为一种潜在的基本发展能力，可能预测未来的社会功能、成人护理安全和身体健康。使用多种方法和记者对 13 岁至 33 岁（1998 年至 2021 年）的青少年（86 名男性，98 名女性；58% 白人，29% 非裔美国人，8% 混血/族裔，5% 其他）进行跟踪调查。研究发现，早期护理的成功可以预测自我和伴侣报告的护理安全感更高，成人关系中的消极性更低，以及成人迷走神经张力更高。结果被解释为加深了我们的理解，不仅仅是认识到青少年友谊具有长期重要性，现在还确定了友谊中与长期结果相关的特定能力。
