Abstract

Patterns of interaction, attitude and value similarity, as well as structural characteristics of friendships, are found in the literature. Using structural or relational networks of closest friendships as a framework for analyses, the present study attempted to investigate their influences on perceived group stability. Among heterosocial and homosocial closest friendships, dyadic forms of group structure, particularly the dyadic and double dyadic, were found to have the greatest influence on perceived group stability.
