International Journal of Behavioral Development, v16 n4 p563-87 Dec 1993

Observed five-year olds playing with a friend and rated the children on dimensions of relationship using the Dyadic Coding System and the Dyadic Relationships Q-Sort. Found that both measures captured similar variation in friendship quality. Also found a congruence between friendship quality and father-child attachment as previously measured at 13 months by the Attachment Q-Sort. (BC)
