Ugandan adolescents (n = 202, 54% girls; M_age = 14.26) answered closed- and open-ended questions about the gender composition of friends and attitudes about, and activities with, same- and other-gender peers and friends. Adolescents’ friendships were somewhat gender segregated, although other-gender friendships were present. Positive attitudes about same- and other-gender peers and friends were prevalent. Girls and boys displayed similar attitudes about same- and other-gender peers, with the exception of boys reporting more positive attitudes toward boys. Adolescents enjoyed the following aspects of same- and other-gender friendships: talking about problems, receiving help, sharing items and activities, receiving advice about romance and puberty, and receiving help with schoolwork. Adolescents engaged with mixed-gender peers for most shared activities, although gender segregation was present for certain activities (e.g., playing sports). Results may inform programs that support positive peer interactions among youth in sub-Saharan Africa.

乌干达青少年（n  = 202，54％女孩; M_年龄 = 14.26）回答了关于朋友的性别组成以及对同性和异性同伴和朋友的态度以及与之开展的活动的封闭式和开放式问题。尽管存在其他性别的友谊，但青少年的友谊在某种程度上是性别隔离的。人们对同性别和其他性别的同龄人和朋友持积极态度。女孩和男孩对同性和其他性别的同龄人表现出相似的态度，但男孩对男孩表现出更积极的态度。青少年享有以下同性和异性友谊的方面：谈论问题，获得帮助，分享项目和活动，获得关于浪漫和青春期的建议以及获得关于功课的帮助。青少年与混合性别同龄人一起参加大多数共享活动，尽管某些活动（例如运动）存在性别隔离。结果可能有助于支持撒哈拉以南非洲青年之间同伴之间积极互动的计划。
