“…Peer relationships are sources of support and intimacy, and they can provide developmental stability throughout school and into adulthood. Problems, such as social anxiety, loneliness, depression, low self-esteem, and negative school attitudes, are expected to be the most common forms of maladjustment associated with problematic peer relationships, and these links have been supported in many cross-sectional [e.g., Boivin et al, 1994;Crick and Ladd, 1993;Lopez and DuBois, 2005;Oldehinkel et al, 2007;Reijntjes et al, 2006] and longitudinal studies [e.g., Borelli and Prinstein, 2006;Coie et al, 1992;MacPhee and Andrews, 2006;Murray-Close et al, 2007;Woodward and Fergusson, 1999]. However, most of these studies have only focused on single aspects of peer relationships, such as focusing on correlations of being disliked by peers at school or being victimized by peers with negative affect and low self-worth.…”
