Abstract

The current study examines how the family patterns of differentiation of self and parenting style impact the level of intimacy in same- and cross-sex friendships among Arab adolescents in Israel. 150 adolescents responded to the Differentiation of Self Inventory, Parental Authority Questionnaire, and the Intimate Friendship Questionnaire. The findings indicate that high levels of I-position, indicating good communication between family members in Arab households in Israel, together with an authoritative parenting style, may promote intimacy in friendships with the same sex, whereas fused and dense relationships may reduce intimacy in cross-sex friendships.
