Friendship expectations among immigrant adolescents and their host peers

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on friendship expectations between Soviet adolescent immigrants and their Israeli host peers. Results show that the adolescent immigrants put more importance on aspects of friendship expectations, such as assistance, status, similarity and harm avoidance, than their peer hosts. Immigrants think that their host peers have higher friendship expectations of status and similarity while the hosts see assistance and harm avoidance as the major factors in the immigrants' expectations. Immigrant friendship expectation and social distress correlation was also established.
